Everything, Everything

I couldn\'t sleep, so I decided to put the rest of the site into the new design. I still need to do the comments page in the new style (and work out which ID needs to present the new look - looks like 536), but the rest of the site should now match. The old diary entries (2002-2005) keep their old designs, but all the 2006 posts look pretty. I also sorted out the login page, so it should automatically redirect you to the diary page (without any delay) after a correct login. I think the CSS causes some issues in IE6/IE7, but usually a page refresh will sort anything out. Other things, like the list of past entries on the diary page, will appear once the page has finished loading the content.

I thought it was interesting (others might not) to see that the Dilbert cartoons push the middle box across to the right in IE6, but Mozilla shows the graphic going outside of the box. Mozilla also displays the long text outside of the box too (IE breaks it up at the open parentheses). This shouldn\'t be an issue unless your monitor displays 1024x768 (like my dad's). I usually view this site at 1280x800 or 1680x1050. Most people probably use 1280x1024. I still think my dad's crazy to have my decent Radeon 9800 pro with DIV output hooked up to the old 17" monitor via the VGA cable, while the 17" higher resolution TFT with DVI input sits with the worst computer that outputs VGA from a very old and basic graphics card. Ah well.

I really must delete the old Dilbert cartoon entries on here that now have broken links to the graphics. The Dilbert site only keeps the last month online (unless you pay for access to the whole back catalogue).
