I was not aware that Firefox failed the Acid2 tests as well. I've just known from many many days of coding and html sculpting that Firefox always worked the way I wanted it to and IE would always puke it up. So a lot of the time I have to change a design that I am really really happy with because IE chokes on it. Not so much any more with IE7 really, but I think you will find a lot of Internet users are still chugging away on IE6. Hey BJ,

I'm at least still reading blogs as often as I can, it seems thats really all I can do for the most part. PHP Fridays is really pushing me to post at least once a week so I'm trying to stick to that as much as possible. Yeah, I miss my [activeness].

Right now, there are only 2 browser I'm willing to work with if I absolutely do not have to use IE because some silly developer designed it that way. My Browser list in order of preference: Firefox Safari for Windows [in Beta - just messing with it] Netscape Opera IE So that kind of shows you where IE stands in my book. Although, it is because I am security minded and IE just does not have a good reputation. When I switched to Firefox a few years back, I never looked back. Absolutely love it!

So it really doesn't display pages properly.

I love dark blue much better than blue-green-ish color. But yeah it's great. And it's also much better to read a blog when it doesn't look like 20 other blogs you've seen on the internet. And when you're reading your own posts, it makes it feel much more like an actual personal blog =D Also, welcome back! Not as active as you used to be but close enough :D I hope work's easing up. looks great! I love dark blue much better than blue-green-ish color. But yeah it’s great.

We had a falling out, and then IE7 came into my life. Firefox is still begging for my attention, so maybe I'll go back to her when this love affair with IE7 is over.

It was funny to be different to be somebody who actually chose to stay with the default, just making a few minor edits. But if it seriously took this long to figure out there was a security issue with their default theme, I just can not allow myself to remain on it. Blue & Orange is the colors of my Denver Broncos so I just may be tempted, but until I have time, I will just stick with this for now :wink: And finally, on losing the default “Kubrick” theme.

Haha, just kidding. The original design had a striped background, so I figured I would still try to incorporate it but even I was unsure of it. It was growing on me, after all, it was different. But after those reactions, just good ol' gray...stripes removed per feedback. What stripes are you guys talking about? Haha, just kidding.

Firefox extension as Saman said in his reply. Noticing that you still use IE, you really need to try out Firefox. I swear man, when you try out a browser that actually displays pages to actual design standards, you just are amazed because for once, a browser works the way it should. Download Firefox and give it a try, I'm telling you, you will love it! @Saman Yeah I know, I'm still working on that very same project that I was contracted for months ago. So not forgetting you, just trying to finish this contract before the new Matthis arrives. @Spud Oregon

One thing; the link to your comments is at the top of the page. That means, is someone (as I did) reads the article on the index page, and then decided to leave a comment, they have to scroll all the way up to the top again to click through. Nice work Bob.

It's sad to see you dump Kubrick - using the default theme was so <i>cool</i> - but I guess you've got to move on for security reasons and you've picked a nice theme here. The color changes are great, though I'm not sure yet if I like the striped, gray background. Could I convince you to choose bright blue and orange? ;) For future reference, how did you get the full-length images of your site? Very nice Bobs!
