In response to you entry:

1. Firefox
2. Windows XP Home Edition, I’d rather be using linux, but I’m far more comfortable with Windows, having used it since near the end if Windows 3.1
3. no sidebar, see #1
4. It looks just like you say it ought to.

We used to have problems w/ loading in IE on OS9 (?)-also clamshell albeit “blueberry” -sidebars would be gray, like a halftone, or sometimes blank. I think you witnessed this on our old, sadly departed laptop and were infuriated. It also took forever for photos to load and sometimes they didn’t.
Now w/ Safari in OSX all is ok.
I assume.
Oh well I guess you won’t have time for this sort of dicking around anymore anyway. (CONGRATULATIONS! and much love)

You’re just baiting me, aren’t you, you minx. Until we get settled into our house and I get my personal computer set up again, I view you on IE, Windows XP, and it looks pretty much as it should–sidebar is up at the side, header photo is there. I have occasionally had the sidebar come all the way at the bottom, but I don’t know why because I don’t change browsers or anything. And the header photo is always there.

But, just now as I’m writing this, the page has turned green. Seriously green. St. Pat’s is a long ways off yet, brother.

1. Firefox 2.0
2. OS X (10.4.8 to be precise)
3 & 4. Everything is where it should be.

Thanks all. It’s appearing that the problem is limited to IE 5 on Mac, and if that’s the case I can live with such a small amount of khaki-chafe. Everyone knows that only a felon would run IE on a Mac.

Firefox all the way, both on Windows and my “antique” clamshell iBook (orange, from 2000). Man, that must chafe your khakis to be so seriously misrepresented.

i’m here in japan just now, using firefox 2.0.0.1 on a macbook, macos x 10.4.8 and the page looks as it should, per your ff example. ie for mac is just too too painful, imho. i don’t know of anyone who uses it. heck, i don’t really know of anyone of any intelligence who uses anything but firefox. not to say that i don’t know people who use ie, but note the qualifier. regards, and keep up the good work.

Win XP, IE, looks fine (sidebars and header image present and correct). But I do seem to remember at some point in the past that the sidebar was way down at the bottom, after the posts.
Ok now though.
