The new site looks great and I can personally vouch that it works fine on Firefox, unlike blogs on some services. Curse you, Pyra!

Looks great -- but doesn’t display quite right on Safari (mac os x.3)

Way cool. The Solaris/Mozilla bug is gone to. There were a lot of problems with textarea boxes on my system, but it looks like they’ve disappeared.

I got garbage the first time (WinXP/Netscape 7.0), but I reloaded the page and it was ok. I occasionally get garbage from Blogspot blogs too.

afö? Hmm, not quite sure I like how that sounds.

Mac OSX 10.3 with Explorer 5.2.3

Everything’s appearing in one column: i.e. the “worth a look” down to “powered by” box /above/ the blog entries. Also, it’s over-running the top banner.

Otherwise, looks nice.

But why, Mr Kehö?

Tobias, the links to authors’s sites and posts seems not to have survived the reformatting. Are we to be an anonymous anarcho-syndicalist commune now? (Not that there’s anything wrong with that….)

I dunno, Mrs T, what do you think about strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as the basis for a system of government?

Doug; Dunno. Maybe because the closest English phoneme to ö/ø/oe is a South of England -er, and whenever I say that in English I feel affected, a bit of a twat. (I’m from Ireland, and have no problem with actual English people pronouncing it in context, but I’d probably snigger at an otherwise Irish-accented person doing it.)

As to the spelling my surname; it doesn’t reflect how the word is pronounced, and never has. I’m seriously considering moving to the _leagan Gaeilge_ to intimidate people out of trying to pronounce it.

Just had a look at the Mac OS situation. Seems to work absolutely fine except in IE 5.2.x and Safari 1.0 (with different bugs). This is a little strange - the only structural change in the markup is the additional float containing the drop down menu - and both Safari and IE 5.2 seem to read the “clear” for the top float (albeight with messed up positioning in the latter case). Below the clear nothing in the markup has changed, so I am a little surprised that they seem to wrap the right column below the left one.

I’ll see what I can do.

Mrs T.,

for the author links and posts to all afoe posts click on A Fistful of Euros in the drop down menu.

I like the randomised picture changer on top!

Groovy random images. Is it a quiz? Can anyone play? Are there prizes for those correctly identifying the location of all images?

More seriously, any chance of a list of captions for those of us more geographically-challenged than most?

Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Aidan, actually, I grew up with a number of Kehoes (Danny and Jimmy and…), so I know how it’s pronounced, at least in south Louisiana. Umlaut looks cool, though, so if you ever find yourself in a heavy metal band, you’ll know what to do, right?

“Afö” sounds like someone should say “Gesundheit” afterward. (Oddly enough, “Gesundheit” is exactly what all of my Scotch-Irish, ex-dirt-farmer ancestors said when somebody sneezed. Don’t have the faintest idea where that odd bit of German came from.)

works on Safari now -- and damn, it looks fantastic!

Thank you for your comments! I would be great if Safari 1.x as well as IE 5.2.x users could tell us if the remaining display problems have been solved.

Ah, you’re great anyway, Tobias.

(Obligatory design nerdage: Maybe the menus at the top should drop down on hover, or have a title= attribute to indicate that the page won’t reload if you do click?)

Doug: cool. Though if I was going to change my name for Reasons Of Fame And General Rock Excellence, it would probably be to Kjoː :-)

The first couple of days were kind of shakey with Safari but it looks beautiful now - all is fixed. Great work!

I’ll see what I can do.

That’s fixed it. Thanks.

Bit late - but works great on my primitive Netscape 5 and Windows 2000.

I use Firefox. Maybe it’s something about the way I’ve configured it, but the rollover menus don’t show up at all. (I only know they’re there because I couldn’t believe the Archive button didn’t lead anywhere, so I opened the site in IE).

cf,

I’d say this is due to your configuration as I am using firefox and it works just fine.

Having been forced to take responsibility for the problem, I reinstalled tabbrowser extensions and voila, everything works. Thanks!

Random banner images, a cunning plan to increase your visitor numbers by making everyone bash refresh 15 times to look through them? :)
