Irrelevant Ramblings

As you may or may not know, I dabble in web design.  And as I have come to learn, you can have a site finished and working fine, only to find out that it doesn’t work in Microsoft IE6.  Why is this.  From what I understand it’s because IE6 (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6) does not support the latest web standards and so as a web developer, once a site is created you often have to go back and adjust things so that it’ll work. Obviously the easiest way around this is to design with modern standards and forget about IE6, but there are some people that just won’t get rid of that little app.

If you are using IE6 I suggest you change browsers there are a number of them.  I have listed and posted links to a few of them below. (Heck you could even just upgrade to IE7).

1. Firefox- Firefox has security, speed and new features that will change the way you use the Web. Don’t settle for anything less.

2. Safari- Experience the web, Apple style, with Safari: the fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world. With its simple, elegant interface, Safari gets out of your way and lets you enjoy the web faster than any browser.
