So I was just in the EE Lab and decided to check how the blog looked on Windows and IE, and all I can say is ouch. And since 46% of my visitors use IE, I suppose I should get around to fixing this. Firefox looks pretty good, there’s a few minor things, but nothing huge. I guess you guys should all switch to Mac and use Safari, since it renders my attempts at CSS the best. :-P Anyway, just wanted to write a quick post apologizing for the ugliness of the blog on Windows, and say that I’m going to get around to fixing it sometime.

Socks Hate Me 15 Apr 06
3 Comments
Ok, so you know how in the last post I was all excited because I had figured out my gauge and was ready to knit a perfect fitting sock? Well, I had the best of intentions, but apparently that doesn’t count for anything these days. I had figured out that I needed to cast on 72 stitches, which is 24 on each needle. Well silly me, when I cast-on, for some reason I was thinking of the heel flap, at which point there are 18 stitches on 2 needles and 36 on the other.
Well I don’t know what happened, but my brain completely malfunctioned, and I cast on 18 stitches per needle, instead of 24. Well needless to say I did all the ribbing and was excited to start the heel flap before I realized my stupid mistake. So this is frog #4 for the great sock attempt of 2006. I’m beginning to get somewhat tired of this, but I have determined to persevere until I have at least one sock done. Then I may or may not give up the whole thing forever, depending on my emotional whim of the moment.
Also, you may have noticed, the blog’s look is changing very rapidly these days. The theme on the blog is getting closer and closer to the theme in my head, so that’s good. There may be a few display issues (the little scroll bar thing for the archives doesn’t work in Firefox as far as I know), so if you have problems, drop a comment so I know what does and doesn’t work. I hope you like the theme, I really do! There’s still a lot more changes to come in the next little bit, so please continue to excuse the mess :)
Well I need to be productive now, since I’ve wasted hours this morning fiddling with the blog’s stylesheet. There’s still graduation announcements to mail, socks to be cast on and homework to be done. Have a great Easter weekend everyone, and remember, He is risen!
Watch the Mess 10 Apr 06

So you may see the site undergo a few different looks in these next few days (or weeks, who knows), but I’m attempting to make some improvements to the awesome K2 theme for Wordpress to make the site look totally sweet. So please mind the mess.
In fact, in honor of this mid 1990s era post that makes me think of countless AOL homepages displaying an under construction icon, here’s my homage:

So I made a new header image for the blog tonight, it took a bit of time, but it was fun. Emma wasn’t too excited to lay on the couch and pose with my scarf, but she managed somehow ;) What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
