Don’t look at this blog in i.e. it takes everything that is wonderful in firefox and makes it look dumb!  I just now realized this because I never use i.e.!  I will try to fix the problem, but it may take awhile, I’m a bit busy at the moment (see below posts), and I have limited coding skills, in the meantime start using Mozilla Firefox and stop supporting the Microsoft Monopoly.

In case you are wondering IE really is not standards compliant. [Link]

CSS 2.1 standard support:
IE 6: 52%
IE 7: 54%
Firefox 1.5: 93%
Opera 8.5: 93%
Opera 9: 96%

Standard compliance is good because it makes it easier for people like the Scientist and I to create a nice look for our pages. (i.e. design a page once, not twice) The most annoying problem is the box model hack that needs to be done to make ie work. I think this is one of the problems the Scientist is having with her blog.
