Welcome to the new site

by Matt Smith

Well this is it, my new site is up and running with all of the posts and comments from the previous blog having been moved across.

Setting up this new site has involved a fair bit of planning and I thought everything was finally in place this morning. A few minor problems had to be ironed out, but apart from that it had all been plain sailing. Then I decided to check whether everything worked okay in different web browsers, as suggested by the Theme owner! I use Mozilla Firefox and this site displays without any problems there and it also works fine in Opera; however I tried it with Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7 and was met with a few displaying errors. What I thought was my “perfect” site is actually displaying a few imperfections in these browsers, with the footer not displaying correctly and a few lines appearing on the right hand side of the page. Talk about a kick in the teeth!

I’ve spent the morning seeing if any other themes fit the bill (and work in all browsers!), with depressing results (getting three columns to work in IE is not easy by all accounts). So I’m going to crack on with this theme for now as it was exactly what I was looking for in terms of layout and hope that the slight displaying glitches in Explorer don’t detract too much from the site. Obviously if there are any functionality problems then I will have to think again, but hopefully it will be fine and either the theme owner or myself can fix things in time. If all else fails I will have to find/build another theme, but with a bit of luck it won’t come to that.

Please let me know if you have any major problems.
