This website looks horrid in Internet Explorer. Frankly, it just sucks in IE 0-8 and if you ARE using one of those and do not have a choice in the matter, I apologize in advance for things which look a little weird. It’s not my fault, it’s Microsoft’s. When I built this site, I built it viewing it in Safari and Firefox. I don’t use IE, ever and I never will. If you are using IE and have a choice, PLEASE PLEASE switch to Firefox. Not only for my sake, but yours as well. Internet Explorer is inherently vulnerable to security flaws and on top of that, as you’ll see on this site, it does not read HTML and more specifically, CSS properly. I’ve probably spent more time fixing how the site renders in IE then I have building the site initially.

Here’s an example of just how IE screws up the internet: http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-friendly-resources/css/internet-explorer.shtml

From speadfirefox.com: With regards to security, Internet Explorer 7.x is has about 13 times more vulnerabilities and advisories than Firefox 3, according to security site Secunia.com:

• Vulnerability Report: Mozilla Firefox 3.x
• Vulnerability Report: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x

Here is a list of “top reasons” to switch to Firefox, mentioned by various web sites:

As you can see, it’s not just me making these claims. Personally, I use a Mac and even though Apple gives us a very powerful and fast browser of it’s own (Safari), the very first application I download on all of my computers is Firefox.

You can get Firefox here.
