I hate browser incompatibilities! I'm working on the very necessary redesign of the rest of the site and it's just a horror trying to get the site to look the same in just a couple of (Windows) browsers. I use IE5.01, Netscape 6.2.1, Mozilla 0.9.8 and Opera 6.0 for testing. If you get a workaround working in one browser you'll find that it won't work in another and sometimes even cause more trouble. IE5 and Opera seem to agree mostly on how to render things, but then usually Netscape 6 and Mozilla disagree with how things should look. I've already given up completely on trying to design for Netscape 4... that must be the most horribly non-standards compliant browser ever!
More than 70% of the visitors uses IE anyway, so I'm contemplating if I want to live with some inconsistencies showing up in Netscape... the only alternative to using frames to make the editing of the information on the pages easy for me, it seems, would be to use some sort of (semi)dynamic setup so that the information can be rendered on one page, instead of in different frames. But that would mean I'd need to get some fancy stuff running on my server and I don't quite have the knowledge or time to set up a content management system or some funky PHP/MySQL stuff. *grumble*

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
