So if you are a user of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or 7 and want to see what this blog is really supposed to look like, try opening up the page in either Firefox or – on a Mac – Safari.  In both FF and Safari, it looks great.  The little tabs line up with the line underneath them… there is a dividing bar between the main column and the second column (the one with my picture in it)… and all around it just looks better.  I have now spent a serious chunk of time trying to get the CSS to work for IE and have to finally just say I can’t…  it will have to wait for another day.

Of course, the content should look the same in either browser, and at least I’ve solved the issues so that IE is now displaying the columns correctly…  argh… all of this is rather annoying.
