Don’t get me wrong, the old design was rad and made me happy. But it was time for a change and I wanted to create a WordPress theme for this site that reflected my new, minimal approach to life, see. I won’t bore you with the broader details.

So I hope you like the new look. There are still some bugs I need to iron out and some areas of the site that need some attention, but I’m happy with it in general.

With this news comes a plea: please use Firefox. Or Camino. Or Safari. Hell, any browser besides Internet Explorer will do. I’ve spent hours trying to make my new theme more compatible with the CSS bugs in IE and I can’t be bothered to waste more time on it. IE is not secure, pretty or particularly useful. Switch to Firefox. It’ll make you big and strong.

God knows why – I’m trying to figure it out at the moment, but I don’t have much time available. I had it working and looking perfect in IE 6, Firefox and, my new favourite browser, Safari. But alas, with the release of Vista and IE 7, Microsoft have hurled a spanner into the works.

Several of the other sites I maintain have fallen prey to the IE render-monster as well. If you’re wondering what this page should look like, I’ve pinned a window-grab.

Thanks Microsoft! I wasn’t busy enough already! Bleeding hell…
