LOL!!!

I noticed you started posting more and more at night instead of earlier in the day has it made a difference?

I sort of just fell out of my routine. I post when I can, hopefully soon I can get back into my pre-posting routine.

I don’t know if there’s been a difference, but 127 is an RSS record (by 1), so you be the judge

Oh - and I liked the poster - although I think everyone is a bit to concerned with what browser people are using. It’s up to the individual - so everybody chill.

FeedBurner’s counts are always a little sketchy. It jumps around, and if all the sources could align, I’m sure it could go up to ~135, but you just have to live with FeedBurner.

Just a question of perspective…

mmmmm bacon.

My principal once showed me the original version of the poster and said I’d only ever work at a Mcdonalds….Now I’m in university on my way to making twice what they did. Justice has been served.

i dont get it. people complain about ies lack of standard support yet every site ii code is xhtml complient and works fine in ie without any hacks

were there are errors in ie like using float:left doubles your margin but switching to float:right renders correct. its not so much ie sucks, its just that people suck at coding complient sites. in other words, if its not working, dont hack it, go about it a different way. theres more then one way to skin a cat… so to speak

You code with tables, and the main problem is CSS support for things used mainly in pure CSS layouts. That’s one way to skin a cat, but even cats hate tables

i only use tables so i don have to use clear:both if u look at any of my websites source, youll c the table only separates the navigation and the main content

i do it so it displays well in older browsers. not coz i cant code wid divs

I would rather use clear than use a bulky table. In fact you don’t have to create a clearing element in FF or Safari- that’s just for IE becuse they don’t support clearning properly.

The simple fact is IE7 still doesn’t support parts of CSS Level 2, which is 10 years old!

Check out this and you will see the IE has absolute terrible support for CSS level 2 and that’s just the selectors.

PS, you have a nice looking site razor.

As far as I know, there are only two areas in which IE is better than FF. IE6 has better support for XML. Althought I think the only advantages are IE supports XML data islands and also allows you to use custom DTD on your XML documents. However, these aren’t really groundbreaking features. The only valueable strength that IE has over FF is that it has a more powerfull JavaScript engine. However, since most people have decent speed CPU this isn’t much of an issue. JavaScript is on the way to version 2 anyway, see more here.

Looks like Microsoft are being left out of JavaScript 2, leaving JScript in tatters

What do you mean original? I made this myself

Notice the lazy use of stock photos and huge copyright at the bottom?

Ah, couldn’t find a good picture of it. There’s probably one on eBay, though.
