Arrrgggh. Netscape.
I spent most of last evening working, working, working to reward my loyal readers with a little bit of eye-candy.
To wit: I converted the title to a .gif file so that I could do some tasteful Photoshop modifications of it, like, say . . .
C'est magnifique, non?
No? Consider it the beta version, then.
The problem came up when I tried to plug it into the main template. In Explorer, it worked just fine, but in Netscape it somehow interferes with the dateheader, forcing the datestamp over to the left margin.
So after some hours of futzing around with this little problem, I've decided to declare victory and claim that I planned it this way all along.
"Willya look at this, Marge! This feller's somehow managed to put the current date way over on the left, and then it automagically shifts over to the right the very next day!" (My readers are kind of quaintly rustic, salt-of-the-earth types, I think. Which would explain their devotion to Netscape.)
However, Netscape did make me happy in one big way. I just installed vers. 7.1, and it seems that they've solved one big problem, which I've discussed here.
That was the bug where it randomly sprinkled question marks throughout text, but especially at the end of sentences.? Like this??
?????Especially bad when I'd insert soft spaces.?
Making me sound like a Valley Girl.?
Well, whether that was Netscape's bug, Microsoft's or a combination of both, it looks like it's been squashed.
So if you've been bothered by this, you should probably upgrade. (Minimum specs are something like Windows 98, Pentium 233/Mac OS 10.x)
