    Overall, I like it. I’m coming to realize more and more that I am not a designer. It’s something I’m working on, and very slowly getting a little more competent with, but I think minimalist is the way to go unless you have had some formal training, or just have a knack for it.

    Good stuff.

    Well, its kinda broken in IE, but I’m guessing that its still a work in progress. Overall I like it.

  3. Bart Said,

    Hey Tony and Kirsten! Glad to see that you guys have a site up and running! I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments.

    Mike, thanks for the tip about IE. I’ve got it a bit more “fixed” in IE, though that browser is permanently broken.

    I also found out an interesting bit of info about IE. Did you know it ignores comment characters in CSS files? # means absolutely nothing at the start of a line!

    Broken, I tell you, broken! Just plain wrong!

  5. Heather Said,

    Very nice. Blogs are rockin’.

  6. Mike Said,

    Tony, yeah it looks much better in IE now. Yeah, IE is “permentantly broken!.”
    doesn’t # have something to do with specifying styles for an ID, and /* mean a comment? Where’s Matt when you need him?

  7. matt Said,

    comments in CSS are delineated by /* */

    #something, denotes an ID tag. Correct Mike.

    But IE is permanently broken. Well, maybe not permanently, but it sounds like the developer team isn’t even thinking CSS support in all their upgrades. They have really poor rationale too. Well, maybe not poor rationale, but their rationale speaks to poor development of IE.

    Anyway, everyone should use Mozilla as their default browser. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS FOLKS!

    Hey Tony, you need to post more :)

  8. tonyhill Said,

    The thing about the #something is that outside of curly braces definately denotes and ID tag, as in the following:

    #something {

    }

    In Mozilla, however, a #something within curly braces is an additional method of specifying a comment, while IE just ignores the # and parses the rest of the command. The following is an example:

    #foo {
    #something
    }

    In Mozilla, the something attribute of foo would be ignored. In IE, the something attribute of foo would be set.
