Jesse! Thanks so much. Interesting how many bloggers are seeing so much FireFox traffic.

Thanks, Char. You got that right. I sometimes wonder if there’s any better gift than a little extra time.

I feel your pain, bro. Really. It looks great. My FF users are pushing 45% of my traffic right now.

I’m an IE user at work and a FF user at home. That makes for some nasty surprises when I get home sometimes.

Karin,

I am a bit surprised at the large percentage of FF users that come here. I suspect the blog world is a bit skewed in the FF direction compared to the rest of the online world.

It makes sense with all the simple customization that FF enables. Even so we have to be careful to avoid thinking our site users are just like ourselves.

Hi Chris!

Wow, what an impact this design has, I love it!

As for testing in various browsers, you’re lucky most blog reader use Firefox – but you’re absolutely right (specially with static websites IE can show items differently than Firefox or Netscape. And vice-versa, know a website by an Interior designer that works absolutely fine in IE, but is ‘unclickable’ in Firefox.
(I normally check in all three main browsers how my sites – static an blogs – look, than find out which browser my visitors of the various sites use most and make sure it looks ‘best’ in that one – but of course still workable and clickable in the others)

Randa, I’m a big fan of the “mess with it” approach. That seems to be the best way I learn.

The theme looks great! I have been guilty of the same thing, but releasing free themes for WordPress has cured me of it I think. The differences between FF and IE are enough to drive a person INSANE! Thanks for the link to an explanation, since I usually just mess around with it until it looks right in both, rather than really trying to understand the problem.
