As you can see, I’ve made this site look better. To add to the happiness, check out this IE screenshot:

It looks quite obviously glitchy. This is, of course, exactly the kind of way I want it to look. I don’t want to completely exclude Internet Explorer users, just make them feel like they’re not quite at home, if you get me. It looks fine in Opera and Firefox, and I ssume everything else too. If you are using a worthy browser, and you encounter problems, tell me.

My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It’s a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn’t secure and isn’t standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators. Because of their user bases, however, Web developers are hamstrung into developing for IE at the expense of established standards that work well in all other browsers. You can turn the tide by demanding more from Microsoft and by using a better alternative Web browser. I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Macintosh only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well.

I know that blockquote element looks terrible, that’s on the list of things that still need to be changed, including:

1. Comments need to be less default
2. Header likewise
3. Archives need to be tweaked so they look more distinctive
4. I need some previous post buttons at the bottom
