Hope for IE 7.0

I’ve made some style changes near the top of the site. But they don’t seem to be working properly in Internet Explorer. Specifically, the sidebar is down at the “bottom” of the page instead of at the top. I blame IE’s inability to support CSS and web standards properly. My only hope is for people to switch in mass to Firefox or Safari.

After reading the Internet Explorer 7.0 blog, I see that Microsoft is behind in their schedule to support web standards in their Beta 1 version of IE 7. But they seem to have the desire to catch up in Beta 2. I hope they decide to fully support CSS and web standards. It’s frustrating enough with so many different browsers. And it seems that Microsoft is the only one not committed to standardizing the web.

So to make a long story short. If you continue to use Internet Explorer, you are stupid contributing to the problem. That means that 98% of the world population who use the Internet is stupid contributing to the problem. So be it.

Switch to Firefox. You won’t regret it.

Until IE/Microsoft decides to fully support CSS and web standards, I’m not going to go out of my way to fix the sidebarstripes on the Permalink pages to the right. This site looks good enough in browsers that support web standards.
