Under Construction, But Don't Let That Stop You
My fabulous uber-techno boyfriend is working on my site in hopes of making it more readable for all the poor people who aren't on Macs. Please excuse any debris. Snide remarks about my immaturity for the Mac superiority crack go to your lower right.
Hmmm... I'm not on a Mac and your site reads just fine to me. I love this place, by the way. It's better than a message board. No politically correct, sensitive, unbiased topics here. Just good old-fashioned ultra-opinionated stuff.

Oh, by the way, will the "new and improved" blog allow for html commands? I just tried to do a blockquote on another entry, but it didn't work. My advice to the Advice Goddess is to continue to disallow html functions (or at least disable the oh, so annoying and overused "marquee" command).
I can see it now: Post after post of scrolling type going left, right, up, down, back and forth at varying rates of speed. "Due to motion sickness, the Advice Goddess has officially retired from participation on her own blog."
And if you're on Netscape, we could have some fun with the "blink" command which allows the text to blink on and off like a neon sign. Imagine seeing post after post of that: The only html command that's been known to trigger epileptic seizures.

I'm having epileptic seizures just reading the technical details your comment. I'll have to ask my technical advisor these questions. I'm on Moveable Type, which unfortunately, is not like being on hallucenogenic drugs, but equally disorienting.

PS Apparently, you're using a browser created after 1920, unlike a lot of people who complain they can't get onto my site. "I'm using Netscape 4, and..."
Join the modern age!

Really! The upgrades on your browser are like... FREE! For the intellectually challenged, that means you don't have to pay anything for them. All you have to do is download it and it essentially installs itself, folks.

I think if they're using the computing equivalent of a cudgel they might not be able to use higher browsers. I think Apple's Safari -- much better (and faster) than Explorer -- only works in OS X.
