Yeah. Sucks. I did not know that my painstakingly crafted background photo of the infamous CrazyEddie Basenji did not show up in the Internetfrakking Explorer browser. I almost never use Internetfrakking Explorer, even though it is the most ubiquitous browser out there, even though there are much better browsers out there.
Since I’m really a Mac by preference, I was already using Safari and Firefox before I had to get this Think Pad with the piece of crap operating system Windows on it. Up until recently, I never even bothered with IfrakkingE. But the other day at my new place of work I wanted to show my blog to a coworker and the computer didn’t have a Firefox shortcut on the desktop, so I opened IfrakkingE. And wondered what had happened to my website. Later, I queried a friend who asked “what background picture?” When she used Firefox and Chrome, she could (tada) see the site the way it is supposed to look.
So here’s a suggestion. Download Chrome and run it. When you download it you can have it move all your bookmarks, and they’ll even show up in your toolbar the way you’re used to. No wait. Let me qualify that. I switched from Firefox to Chrome, and all my toolbar favorites moved to the Chrome toolbar. I have no idea if Internetfrakking Explorer will let Chrome do that with the same ease. However. I’d be willing to bet that the transition will be less painful than you might imagine. Change is good.
