So the site is mostly live. Finally. Unfortunately it doesn’t like ie6. I can run ie6 and 7 on my mac by using virtualization software (a.k.a. resource hog) so I tested the layout using every browser I could get my hands on. The sidebar navigation div was misaligned in ie6 so I fixed it by making a separate stylesheet for ie6 and below. This fixed my problem, or so I thought.
While it looked fine on my mac’s rendition of windows and my dell’s ie7, I decided to test it on one of the ultra-super-mega crappy xp systems at work. Guess what didn’t work? I have no idea why. If it works on one computers ie6, why wouldn’t it work on another with the same exact browser. OS shouldn’t have anything to do with it, because in both instances, ie was running in what it thought was a windows environment. If anyone has any clue as to why this is like this, or even to tell me if it works in your browser, please let me know.

On a happy note, Va1kyrie, for the most part, is finished! I have a couple things to add like sidebar content and my quilt, then it’s time to go live!

…But I don’t regret it. Dreamhost has been dangling by the last thread of my patience for the last couple of months. Every time I want to update something, the damned site is down or running so slow, it might as well be down. If anyone had asked me a year ago if I would ever change domains, I would say “Hell no! Majinblue for life!”. But here I am. I feel like I’ve abandoned the other domain. I feel guilty. I’s not like it’s a living creature. I’m like the little girl who can’t favor one stuffed animal over the others lest they get lonely. I still haven’t decided what to do with the other domain. It hasn’t expired yet and all my content is still there with the domain name branded all over it. Maybe a slow transition, or a network. Either way, I have a ton of stuff that I need to do here before I officially stand the domain up. Like content. Stand by for more…
