So, this is the first step in the new site design. I think it looks attractive. It’s a modified version of a theme I found out on the net. It would be embarrassing to tell you how long I played with the color scheme, before eventually going with the one from the original theme! This morning I’ve discovered that IE6 doesn’t display it quite right if your browser window is too narrow. Browser compatibility issues are really a pain in the neck! I’ll work on that tonight, and sorry if it inconveniences you today.
Well, the markets got off to a strong start this week. Dow still up 139 as I write this. Just about everyone I know is waiting for it to fall back apart…
Edit: I really like the 3 column setup, with resizing content area. I think it’s the “right” thing to do. So, when I noticed IE6 didn’t like my first attempt, I spent a lot of today completely redoing the css for the columns. I used a site I found that claims its code works all the way back to netscape 4. It wasn’t easy to switch it all over, because of the way it wants the divs to overlap. However, now when I go back and try it on IE6 it’s still broken! That’s not fair!
