Behind the Scenes
The behind the scenes area of my blog is very much like the glimpses you get behind the scenes of most award shows. Everyone is all dressed up spiffy (sans pants), celebrities are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, lots of sculptures being passed around, envelopes being opened, and a bunch of ugly nerds sporting boy-band style headset microphones making sure everything looks kosher to the audience.
I recently upgraded my WordPress installation (that is the blogging platform that SYP runs on) from 2.6 to 2.6.1. It was pretty painless as far as updating files on a server go, but I also took the chance to make some template changes based on feedback that you have been sending me over the past few weeks.
You should now notice that when you make the window smaller then it should be that things don’t jump around as much. If you are part of the 10% of my readers who use Internet Explorer, some of the quirks aren’t worked out yet, so you may want to give FireFox a run for it’s money. If you are part of the 18% of that 10% that is using Internet Explorer 6.0, you really should consider upgrading it to 7.0 AND still using FireFox. Soon all viewers using IE 6.0 will see an annoying little message telling them they should upgrade. I’m going to make this message as annoying as possible over time (to the point that it would enduce a seisure from an epileptic), so go get your update on.
