Stating the Obvious About Internet Explorer
Posted Apr 14, 2008 @ 5:12 pm UTC · Comments
I’m perfectly aware that I’m still leaps and bounds behind the big bad majors in web design. Really. I’m aware when I start a site design that I have to take Internet Explorer into account. I get all of that. And it’s something that doesn’t usually bother me. I’ve put so many hours into learning the ins and outs of design over the past year that I’ve improved greatly.
But for my own personal site— I want it to look nice. Really nice. So far, nothing could be further from the truth. It’s not flashing with blinking lights and scary images of kittens being eaten by domanji monsters or what-not, but it’s not clean, sharp and awesome either.
So I’ve been working on a new design. It’s great. I werves it. I’ve kept IE in mind the whole time. Or so I thought. Today when checking my design out in IE I got some sort of evil, twisted mangled twin of what I thought I’d see. Yes, I could be overreacting since I didn’t really give any time to figure out why it looks so bad. I’m just annoyed that it looks bad. So, big bad fit of pulling my hair out just to relieve some stress over nothing? I sure bleepin’ hope so. Because otherwise… I’m gonna hunt down each and everyone person on the IE dev team and… ::sigh:: I’ll get it all figured out. Pity party of one, please!
