What a day! I traveled today, and am using a company laptop. I haven't browsed my site in a while using Internet Explorer, so I decided I'd take a look using the laptop. I was shocked to discover that I had no content, and only the menu bar was showing! After I close my mouth, I scrolled down and was a little relieved to discover the content was still there, however, it was down at the bottom of the page. It looks like the two columns of my site were not displaying side to side, and instead on top of one another.

It took me a bit to discover exactly what was going on, but after saving the source of the main page and experimenting a bit, I discovered that the AdSense ad on the menubar was just a bit too wide. In order to fix it for the moment, I changed the size of the ad from 160x600 to 120x600, and everything was then good as gold.

And I was wondering why >70% of my users were FireFox users!

On a related note, using IE, and a freshly downloaded FireFox, I also discovered my ads on my blog entries had a slightly different background color as the rest. I fixed that quickly.

Until next time,
Bill
