Hey, Shinnfans. I just today took a look at this blog using the Internet Explorer web browser, and I realized that it looks terrible. Is this the blog’s fault? Nope. It’s the browser’s fault. You see, Microsoft’s default browsing program, Internet Explorer, does not support the web standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C.
Instead of Internet Explorer, I strongly recommend that you use a standards-compliant (and in every way superior) browser, Firefox. This first thing you’ll notice is that our blog looks a heckuva lot better in Firefox. As an added bonus, you can easily increase the size of the text on almost any web page in Firefox by holding down the ‘ctrl’ button and scrolling up or down with a scrolling mouse. That’s a usability feature that Microsoft just can’t match!
Wow, I had never viewed your updated blog in Explorer (I hate Explorer compared to Firefox), and you’re right. Pretty bad. And to think, that’s how MOST people have been seeing it…bummer. And thanks for the tip on CTRL+Scroll. Didn’t know that. I love tabbed browsing, though.
