IE5/6 PNG Images fixed

I’ve had a few emails from readers who have noticed small issues with the icons used on this blog in Internet Explorer 5-6. Namely that the backgrounds of them are blue. This is sadly because IE5.5-6 cannot render PNG alpha transparency properly. They don’t have the filter to do this sadly. IE7 which is in it’s beta stages finally fixes this long overdue issue. Firefox and Opera as expected are a lot more up to date therefore aren’t affected.

Internet Explorer 6 Issues – Fixed

If you’re using the useless browser try switching to the proper ones such as Firefox and Opera which can actually render web pages correctly. Right now there are thousands of blogs out there that seem to have rendering issues in IEx, but are fine on the mainstream Firefox and Opera browsers. Both browsers are free and miles better then the pathetic IE which comes built into Windows. Hmm, now that IE7 Beta is out, I suppose I better install that on my laptop and see how if theres any change.

Edit: Right, did some lightening quick code adjustments and now that sidebar should render properly in IE6/7. If the sidebar should suddenly vanish, just hit the page Refresh/Reload button (F5) and it should reappear

www.kainzy.org up and runnin!

Thanks to PlusNet having the most shambolic cgi/webspace around, I’ve decided to push plans forward and get a proper host earlier then expected. So thanks to http://www.jswf.co.uk/ I’ve decided for www.kainzy.org to be my new domain yays!

Update!

I’m still busy making changes to the blog, as well as learning about PHP and other malarky to modify various files here and there. Now that December is here, I’ve suddenly got myself a crisis! Too much to do, and bugger all time to do it!

Five Xmas parties from work alone!
Still have to buy presents!
Still have yet to send out xmas cards!
Still can’t find a flamin Xbox 360! – Got one!
Still need to find a nice black, dark and dangerous shirt to buy for said xmas party…
Electricity, Phone and Gas bill arrived this morning.

Oh and because it’s all cold over here in the Uk, getting a bus on time that isn’t packed to bursting is about as hard as finding an Xbox 360 right now. Packed with squabbling children who get in for free, packed with old people and their giant zimmer frames or buggy things, either that or it’s packed with women shoppers who carry around half of Harrods in their hands! Don’t you just love December?

WordPress up and runnin

Am I wasting my time?

Flamin nubbins blogging software! Spent an additional hour on a serious crash course about SQL & PHP so I could get this up and running. Seems to be up and running fine now thank god. At least all this blogging setup lark takes my mind off the xbox 360 malarky…argh!
