Hi All,

After sorting through the entire HTML code for the site I was able to locate the glitch.  Turns out I cut-and-pasted a small section of text from MS Word into the first blog entry.  This has the generally innocuous effect of including some goofy MS Word meta junk into the document.  Here’s the really silly bit…  Guess which browser is the only one that chokes on this error.  Sure.  So here’s the take home lesson:  If you are adding text into an HTML document – even if its a spiffy interface driven setup like WordPress, use anything but Word to generate your draft entry.

Cheers,

P.

Dear Friends,

It has been brought to my attention that those of you making use of Internet Explorer (IE) are not viewing the complete website. For the record, the site is for checked for HTML compliance after every edit and is currently 100% compliant according to the W3C markup and CSS validation sites. For those of you who can change to Firefox, Google Chrome, or Opera (browsers that support compliant HTML codes), I encourage you to do so – the site looks great!   For those of you who are unfortunately bound to IE, please stay tuned, I will continue investigating.

Cheers,

P.

P.S.  Current web stats suggests that 44% of active browsers are Firefox, with IE7 at 27%, IE6 at 20%, and the remainder shared between Chrome, Safari, and Opera in that order.  Just something for the IT folks to consider – given the installed MS user base this is amazing.
