Come on people now, smile on your browser…

I must apologize to all you users of Internet Explorer. You may have been seeing some weird formatting in some of the posts.

I’m a Firefox user and everything looks fine when I view it in Firefox, but I just viewed our blog in IE and there are a few weird spots. Our last post is an example:

It looks like I wanted emphasis on those words. In reality, those words are supposed to be the same size as everything else. (nice wood paneling, eh?)

This kind of thing convicts me. I need to be more accepting of other internet browsers. I can’t point out their flawed CSS interpretation while I ignore the obsolete HTML code in my own eye!

I should never judge those who surf differently than I do, because we should always remember: Love your neighbor as yourself, even if they still use Netscape Navigator 4.0.

    Everyone in the blogging world seems to use firefox…should i switch? I just got a new laptop last summer and it has windows vista so i use internet explorer. What is this firefox and does it only come on Macs? I feel like i’m missing out in life. But i don’t like Macs so if thats my only way to use firefox…forgettaboutit.

    Firefox is a good alternative to Internet Explorer. From what I know, it’s more secure and more flexible, like you can add plug-ins to block ads and do lots of other cool stuff.

    It’s on Windows – I’m using it right now! See more here.

    i would really like to see IE somehow take a flying leap off a really tall digital bridge, but I know thats not going to happen.

    Randy, I knew you would have an opinion on this! :)

    I think IE already did take a flying leap off a digital bridge. That’s why it stops working so readily.

    ;) Our IT guy got Firefox running for me after my IE starting having issues. Now I have it on my personal laptop (which is down for the count right now…) I like it much better.

    I agree with Randy.
    And to the first person, switching to Firefox is a great idea. I was a bit hesitant at first, being so used to IE, but I mean Firefox has Spellcheck. You can’t get much better than that.

    rachel – other than the occasional Firefox freakout/crash, I find no fault in it (it’s kind of a memory hog, too, but what isn’t these days?)

    raquel – thanks for stopping by! now if only i would pay attention to the spelcheck.
