Quick Apology

I just wanted to say “sorry” to any Internet Explorer (IE) users out there. I failed to check to see if my blog displayed properly in that particular browser and it wasn’t until this evening when I realized my error and noticed that my content was being dropped down underneath the content on the right side of the page (aka – the sidebar). After ensuring that all my code was valid, I eliminated the problem down to a simple spacing issue. The width of my content was 5 pixels (px) to wide for it to display properly in IE. So, simple enough, I removed those superfluous pixels and “listo calisto” everything is right in the world again. =)

It still amazes me that Internet Explorer continues to march to the beat of it’s own drum, when all the other browsers have fallen in sync with each other. When I originally checked to see how my blog faired on other browsers it looked perfect on each one (silly me for forgetting about IE, but hey, these things happen). Even now, when I realized the error, I double checked it against Netscape, Firefox, and Opera..no problemas on any of them.

If you are still an IE user for your web experience, hey, to each his own I always say. I love Firefox and will continue to use it. I have nothing against Opera or Netscape, they’ve got their pluses and minuses as well, but for me it is Firefox and nothing else. That being said, as a web designer it is imperative that I ensure my work is multi-platform accessible, and I truly apologize for not ensuring that my blog was held to that same standard.

Problem solved and everyone is happy. Perfect.
