IE Win & WordPress

Publié le Catégorisé dans Geekiness

I’m writing this on a crappy Compaq laptop running Windows 98 (and that is as loud as a hair-dryer). In a typical bit of Web-narcissism, I connected to my site, and then to sknoblog, only to discover that sknoblog is quite broken under MS Internet Explorer 5.5! The header is screwed-up, and the sidebar with all the links is aligned with the bottom of the page instead of the top. Also, the WordPress login page is screwed-up. I’m not going to loose any sleep over this, though when I get home, I’ll check-out sknoblog on my Windows 2000 Virtual PC, just too see if more recent versions of Explorer are more standards-compliant (although this is obviously a CSS-support issue).

All I can say to my PC-readership, is that you should be running FireFox anyway, what with Tabs, RSS compatibility, pop-up blocking, standards-compliance, and CSS support. I am always amazed at what ususpecting PC-users have to put up with. I hate it for example when I forget to type full URLs on PC’s with IE only to land on MSN Search (I’m used to Safari on the Mac that will add the « www » and / or the « .com » for you if it can’t find a site at the litteral address).

Oh well, enough torture. Logging-off and see you when I’m back on a civilized machine 😉
