Spiffiness
I’ve cleaned things up around here; the site name is cheesier, the HTML is greasier, the CSS is tastier, and, amazingly, it all holds together in Internet Exploiter now! Thus, if you refuse to move to a decent web browser, you can finally view this site, although it will probably take the browser several seconds to exercise the necessary script by Dean Edwards before the page will be rendered properly.
Also new is the latest comments list on the blog and my list of college classes under general info. If there’s anything anybody thinks I could do to make the site look a little better, let me know.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!
I was using a decent browser when I first viewed this, but then I opened IE to see if it was true.

Very good job, WildBill!
*checks in IE*

It looks good, although it’s still sort of messed up in IE 7.

Hahaha, I love how the college icon is a little dollar sign.

Wow, you made it IE compatible. Kudos!
Yeah. The templates are aligned, and that "long entries stretch the tables" bug has been fixed. (I know this is late but I rarely visit blogs. This also applies to my own.)
I guess you’re using your .png transparency script, because there’s a noticeable hang on my end before the images change.

I’m not using the same PNG script as before, but the one I’m using now, Dean Edwards’ IE7 PNG module, probably works similarly. The whole script is a major performance killer because it has to rewrite dozens of CSS rules to use IDs (since IE doesn’t support four very important CSS 2 selectors), then rewrite the document with all those IDs added. Those using a standards-compliant browser can enjoy the efficiency of things just working like they’re supposed to without any hacks involved.
