Because I was already in a bad mood, I decided to poke at the css on my splash page for my site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(It may get technical from here, so if you don’t give a rat’s patootie about web design, just go admire my splash page<\/a>, look at some of the book<\/a> pages<\/a>, and then come back and lie to me and tell me how lovely they are.)<\/p>\n

First, I discovered that when I first created the page I made things harder on myself than I needed to. This was fixed, and so the next revamp should be a tad easier, primarily if I make further layout changes involving the menus. (Instead of placing all the menu items in a single box and just moving that, I was moving each item individually, figuring out each time how much each box had to move. This was… annoying.)<\/p>\n

Second, I really truly deeply despise Internet Explorer. I’ve known since I first created my css menus that they wouldn’t work with IE. So I just made sure that the main menus would allow people to access a page from which they could visit the other pages. Not a problem, and no one would know what they were missing unless they’d first looked at the page in a real browser.<\/p>\n

My book pages are a bit more problematic. If you visit my fantasy page<\/a> in any browser except IE (or a really old browser like Netscape 4) you get the nice css menus at the top of the page. Now I admit that the font size of the css menus is off in Safari, but they at least they work. When IE7 came out, I thought that some of these problems would be fixed.<\/p>\n

No. My css menus still don’t work properly in IE7, and to add insult to injury, on the splash page they work a tiny bit, in that the sub menus appear, but you can’t actually select any choice other than the top.<\/p>\n

And then there’s the fact that the links footer, which is simply a box within a box, doesn’t layout properly in IE6. Even though I’m not even doing anything strange with the code there.<\/p>\n

All of which is just maddening. I don’t really want to make an IE only version of my front page, but if it’s going to look half-assed, I don’t see as how I have much choice.<\/p>\n

So, like I said: I hate IE. And I wish I had the power to make the computers of Bill Gates and every other jackass who maintains IE EXPLODE with just the power of my mind.<\/p>\n

I’m sure that would make me feel much better.<\/p>\n

Now I think I need to go eat chocolate ice cream or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
