Neglect/A Web Developer’s Plea
This site has been neglected. I do apologize for that, but I have been busy working on many other projects. I finished the Blue Ridge Outfitters site, finally. I’m also working on a site for a photographer and her business, Precious Portrait. I am also redoing the SCHS site, cause the last one sucked, big time. This time, I’m doing it without them saying what they want, because what they want just doesn’t work. Like hover dropdown menus. Yeah, I can do it, but it is annoying for the end user (and me!). I am also working on a Maple Design revamp, because lets be honest, the current design sucks. I also finished a new version of the Kodaly Music for Children site. I’m also working on a site that has stuff for sale, so that when we put an ad in the paper, we can just put the website. Then people can go look at pictures, and get more details etc.
Now, for the plea. If any of you reading this are using Internet Explorer, please stop. Go get yourself a real browser, such as Firefox. I am sick and tired of having to rewrite code, and add special stylesheets for stupid IE. So please, do a web developer a favour and switch browsers. Please! IE also has many problems besides not being standards compliant, oh such as security. So it is in your best interest (and mine) for you to switch over to something else. Visit StopIE for more info.

Or, for everybody that doesn’t like firefox, actually get a browser that passes that Acid 2 test - if the site is coded right, it’ll show up right in browsers that pass (opera (latest), safari (latest), and konqeror) the Acid 2 test, and in most other sites. IE will possibly be the only (and a few odd-ball browsers) browser that has problems.
So… stop IE. Yeah.
