Dear Readers: Browser Issues

Hi there. So let’s get a show of hands. Who is browsing the internet right now using Internet Explorer 6? Anyone? Well if you aren’t sure, I’ve devised a little test. This website is supposed to look like the picture above. I know crazy. It looks good, right? If The Little Dish doesn’t look this way in your browser it means that you are using Internet Explorer 6. If the picture matches what you are seeing on your monitor then you can disregard the rest of this. IE6 is evil and from a web designer’s standpoint, it’s the bane of their existence. I don’t really want to get into the why, but basically it is a broken and an outdated program. It makes beautiful websites that are supposed to look like the picture above, look like what you are seeing now. Basically it’s the only browser out there that fails to render websites correctly and Microsoft actually has a newer version for you anyway.

So, I’m offering you some solutions so you can read The Little Dish in the manner that we intended. If you want to stick with IE then go and get IE7. Follow that link and choose your operating system and install. Everything will be the same. It’s just like IE6 but prettier and better suited for the internet. Some other alternatives are Firefox or Safari. Both are beautiful programs and superior browsers so your internet experience will be greatly improved. So please, heed my advice and update to IE7 or move to Safari or Firefox. I thank you ahead of time and will check back next week to see who’s been listening. Now go get Frisky.

Leave me a comment if you have any questions, I’d be happy to help. We just want your experience here to be enjoyable.

Internet Explorer 7 (download)

Firefox (download)

Safari (download)

  • All the web designers are giggling right now.


    Bunch of extra work for you goes here.

  • My last comment had psuedo-code in it and it disappeared. Damn blogs.

  • Yep, I was having trouble getting to this site at all from my PC at work today. Looks fine from home, though.
