More CSS troubles
It's just come to my attention--by my happening to look at it after posting to the CIT Library Blog--that my blog looks bad in IE. One problem with developing on a Mac is I can test with Firefox and, when I think about it, Safari, but IE is a whole other ball of wax. And given how well MS Office for Mac works, I'm not inclined to risk installing IE:Mac.
It's interesting that it would mess up like that, since I really just took one of Blogger's templates and modified it to my uses. I feel like, since the core of it is theirs, it should have stood up better against browser changes.
It kind of makes me want to rebuild my site in--and therefore export my blog to--Wordpress. There's some good information out there about Wordpress-as-CMS, and I'd kind of like to give it a try. Then again, my current page [with the exception of this blasted blog] does a good job of showcasing my XHTML/CSS development abilities. ... I'll have to think on this.
I'll fiddle with it this weekend, or as soon thereafter as I get a chance. In the meantime, my apologies if you're an IE user. (By the way, it's OK to contact me with stuff like that--even in the comments of unrelated blog posts. Feedback is always useful, even if it's "negative," or the way I see it, constructive.)

Hey! As a fellow library and info sciences student, I enjoy reading your blog.
You might have heard about this before, but if not, it's a nifty tool for checking how a website looks in internet explorer without having to actually download IE on your mac. It's called IE NetRenderer. At the top of the page, it allows you to put in your website in and it will show you what that page looks like in the version of IE that you choose. (You can check how your site looks in IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8, etc). Thought you might find this helpful!
Wow, that's a really fantastic resource. Thanks for the link!
