New Design and IE Stupidity
I wanted to get a new design up here ever since I upgraded to WordPress 1.5 and this is it. I was looking for something that was generally cleaner and had more room for content. I'm pleased with it and added some things to make it more like the last one, like the calendar on the side. I like how comments are laid out in this one much better and it's not as claustrophobic. The theme is named relaxation.
But...
I added my header to the top in a couple of different ways. First I tried making it the background image to the header div and placing the text on top. That didn't really work out so I tried placing it absolute at a certain point on the page but that was too fragile. Then I tried putting both text and image together and moving the image down 100 pixels and the text up 100 pixels and that seemed to work well in every browser and so I went with it. The problem is that I commented out the background image in the CSS file. Every browser understands that // means I want a line commented out in CSS. It's a standard CSS thing, right?
Apparently, IE on Windows is too stupid to figure that out, so it shows the background image anyway. I didn't know that until getting in to work because it works on every browser on the Mac just fine. Well, except IE.
It's fixed now.
