Indeed there seem to be quite a few issues with IE. I knew of IE6 problems, but I thought it was working well in IE7. Thank you for the reviews, I’ll be looking into the problems.

Really? What happens in firefox? I was unaware there were any problems. The images themselves are rather big so when you hover over them that is when it begins to download so that’ll cause the pause but does it always fail to load?

About the issue with IE6 I am not going to fix it because I want people to upgrade to at least IE7, if not Firefox or Opera or something.

So I think I may put something on there to say that it doesn’t look right because of their browser and to fix that they can upgrade. Not to be rude but I’d rather try to create a demand for standards browsers than to continue fixing for IE. If this were some large corporate site or something for a client then I would try to make it compatible with as many browsers as possible but since it’s just my personal site I’ll stick with just standards compliance (which I think is complete?…)

Thanks for the comment though alainS.

jnewing: thanks, ill look into it.

faustina: thanks, i appreciate it.

alainS: I guess I didn’t make myself clear. I couldn’t agree with you more. If I was running an online shop then of course I’d wanna reach the largest possible audience and then I would cater to IE6. Clients deserve the broadest audience too and I think a professional web designer should design for all browsers. It’s just that as long as someone with IE6 sees all sites working on their browser there will be no need to change. So on my personal site I’ll bite the bullet, make it not work in IE and try and create that demand, as small as it might be.

If I was paying myself for this I would feel I would owe myself consistency between different browsers. But since I’m getting it for free from myself then I can’t demand much. 🙂

I do consider myself professional none the less.

Thank you. At the bottom I don’t use a plugin for the journal posts list. I simply query 10 posts and display a link to each inside an li.Like so:

<ul class="lists">
<?php query_posts('showposts=10'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<_li><_a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><span class="date"><?php the_time('m.j') ?></span> <?php the_title() ?> <_/a><_/li>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
</ul>

***Note: the a and li tags shouldn’t have an underscore. Couldn’t figure out how to format it correctly so it would show up, sorry.

I originally had it at the top, but I thought it would be easier at the bottom since users wouldn’t have to click to see it (the “more navigation” link) but instead scroll down.
