As anyone who creates content on the Web will tell you the best browser to avoid is Internet Explorer. This is because Internet Explorer, even the latest IE8, has so many inbuilt faults and errors that it is a struggle to get any website or blog to work properly. The errors also produce different problems for different users.
That is why you can now see so many sites displaying a message that the site is best viewed in Firefox. I will also advise you to use Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or Opera in order to get the best from this blog.
In Internet Explorer the only problem I have failed to overcome is that if you use the AddThis Bookmark button and click on either Email or More to open another window you may not see it. It is there, but in IE it insists on being only at the top of the page and not in the middle of the window where it should be. All you have to do is scroll up the page and it will be there at the top.
This does not happen on all computers so you may be lucky and see it pop up straight away. I have been in touch with support at AddThis and they are aware of this IE problem but so far they have not been able to get it to happen on their own computers and cannot find out why this fault occurs only on some computers or what in IE is causing it.
The other day I was reading Creating a Web Site: The Missing Manual by Matthew MacDonald to remind myself just how much I had forgotten. As I read the chapter on blogs I saw a screen shot of a blog with post summaries which showed the title of the post in the “Continue Reading” link.
