Smug geek makes mistake…

February 5, 2007 By Dan Thornton

That would be me, then…

I’ve spent years telling people they should tests everything in alternate browsers , on Mac and PC, and in various states of intoxication. So I felt particularly stupid today, when I attempted to show this blog to someone using IE6.
First, the URL made IE6 tried and download the site as a doc. This was due to me trying to insert code in the title, which worked fine in Firefox. Of course, discarding my own advice meant that I don’t think I’ve ever checked how the site looked in IE.
Hence why I’m only just discovered that my sidebar is permanently lodged at the bottom of all my content. Again, only in IE.

All suggestions point to a strange bit of code messing things up. Should be simple, if time consuming, to fix. In the meantime, please feel free to berate me for being a pillock. And normal service will be resumed shortly, in between reviews for Gamestyle and Strategy Informer.

    I have spent years telling people they should proof read their documents before they publish.

    Oh I spotted some more errors – “Hence why…” surely the word “why” is used in a grammatically incorrect fashion and is somewhat redundant in this context.

    Hi, Thanks for the comments and proof reading. It’s nice to know I’ve got someone paying enough attention to spot these things, and to catch me when I’m being lazy!
