Browser issues

It has been brought to my attention that OlyBlog is not being interpreted very well by Internet Explorer. How many folks are experiencing this problem? In any case, I'll work on sorting it out. One thing you could do is to download Firefox (something you should do anyway).

I ran it through browsercam so you can see how it looks in other browsers. It's a little funky in older browsers which is to be expected. Anyone using browsers that old should be accustomed to it. And konqueror doesn't render the white background on the content area. You could fix that by giving the background a color value in addition to the image. hth
