If you are viewing this site in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (IE6)
there are problems with my new design that cause it not to render
correctly. Until I can get time to fix it, your only choices are unfortunately to
either: 1) upgrade to IE7; 2) use Firefox; or 3) read the RSS feed.
My apologies… when I was testing the site design and navigation bar on top,
I tested the site with IE7, Firefox 1.5 and 2, and MacOSX Safari., but neglected
to test with IE6.
P.S. And if there are any CSS experts out there who know why my design
is messing up IE6, any such advice would be greatly appreciated.
In styles.css, in the “.layout-three-column #alpha” selector (around line 550 or so), change “margin-right: 500px” to “padding-right: 500px”. I think the problem is the combination of a margin with “width: auto” — the margin’s getting shoved off past the window edge.
(Speaking of page layout, your comment preview displays in the second column instead of the first.)
Rich,
MANY thanks… it worked! I guess next time I’m in Ottawa I owe you a beer, eh?
Yes, the comment preview annoyingly shows up in the small column because of the way I’ve twisted TypePad’s templates to put the two columns over on the right. I’m actually using the “3-column layout” that has a wide center column and two sidebars, but then I changed the columns around manually. TypePad’s comment feature, though, still thinks it is in the original standard format and so it is putting the comment preview in what it thinks is the wide center column.
John Unger from TypePad Hacks has come up with a way to fix it:

but as I read his instructions, it’s a lot of manual copying/pasting from one set of “Advanced Templates” to a new one… and I simply haven’t had the time to muck around with it to that degree.
Thanks again for the fix… it worked great!
