One of the biggest problems is that IE, FF, Opera, any of the Microsoft Windows based browsers do not completely render properly. Seems like the anti-compatability nature of the Mac is finally the foremost winner when it comes to compatability. Nice. I remember the good old days where standards adherence was ensuring your program would run within a 640K DOS memory limit. Now days, different story. Pleasure to meet you too. Brian...

Yeah- the WP blog CSS is tricky here and there, but what's keeping me on edge lately is the client work I'm coding... eeek! * nervous grin * Tight layouts with positioning nightmares and then the whimsical changes to integrate after battling on the bloody fields of cross-platform compatibilities... Pardon me whilst I scream. lol On the bright side, though IE still wants to walk it's own walk, it certainly has sharpened my troubleshooting skills! :) (I'd trade it for the easy life of standards adherence any day, but I'm trying to be positive... * grin *) And yes- Safari renders most things brilliantly. I think it's the only browser that passes the Acid2 test, which is certainly rigid in requirements. Nice to meetcha and see you around! smooches~ jEN Hello!

I'm still working on the overall layout, color schemes, pictures, etc., just trying to get things working; you know how it goes. I noticed the problem Saskia informed you of when I was accessing your page via IE, went to FF and didn't notice the problem. Nothing like non-compliant browsers and even in IE7, it still won't pass the CSS1/2 compliance test. Oh well, Microsoft's loss. Now if they can make Safari run on a Windows box (I know, I know, get a Mac). Good hearing from you, look forward to reading more of you in the future. (oh, and I found your blog through a forum post you made, somewhere, isn't that really specific?) brian... jEN, it’s funny that we are having almost an identical CSS/XHTML problem that you responded to in my blog.
