Still Tinkering
As you can see, this is a new look for TPO. It’s not 100% the way I want it and that’s because IE sucks. I don’t even know why people bother using it; it’s the devil. You should all get with the program, join the internet revolution, and download Firefox. I mean, really. It’s not 1999. Time to upgrade!
I had the site looking exactly the way I wanted…on Firefox. Then I opened up the evil Internet Explorer to see how it looked over there, and it I was greeted with broken code and non-matching css. Then I’d fix it on IE and Firefox would display the theme poorly. I spent a crapload of time tweaking this theme (which was originally wedding themed) and I’m thisclose to saying “screw you!” to IE users. Seriously. I’m not sure I can make it work for both.
So, what you see now is the half-way point between what I want and what needs to be provided so IE users can view the site. I am a web designer by trade and “settling” is not something I like doing. So don’t be surprised if this theme gets dumped in favor of one that works on both IE and Firefox. It’ll piss me off and suck up more of my free time, but I guess that’s the price one pays for perfection!
What I think I’m going to do is continue tinkering for another day or so. Maybe I’ll fix the inconsistencies. Or maybe I’ll just become “ok” with the site the way it is. Maybe I’ll throw my computer out the window and become a Michigan fan. Nah, just kidding. Regardless, I’ll let everyone know what I do in the next day or so.
Stay tuned!
P.S. Seriously, though. Do yourself a favor and get Firefox.
