New Design Test Post

In further redesigning this site, I’m gonna need to test out some new layout options. Things like blockquotes, headline tags (h1, h2, etc.), unordered and ordered lists, image tags, and a host of whack-a-riffic styled options. Ignore this post, as you’ll just wonder wtf I was thinking.

There should be an image off to the left of this text. Here’s hoping, eh? I know it’s a goofy-ass image, but it’s needed to test image placement, alignment settings, and overall usage of images in further posts. I know how you kids love your visual aides, so this is the first of many weak attempts to incorporate genuine images into our posts.

This would just be a continued paragraph here. There’s little to read. Time for some latin text, methinks. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur rhoncus orci nec wisi. Sed in nunc et nunc consectetuer nonummy. Proin ac dui. Cras volutpat augue sit amet eros. Nunc vel massa. Praesent ac massa. Curabitur pharetra erat sit amet massa. In a sapien. Cras faucibus volutpat sem. Praesent pede. Maecenas libero mauris, adipiscing et, lacinia nec, porttitor vitae, nisl. Quisque convallis orci ut felis. Sed tempor nibh sed ante commodo tristique.

This is loud, header text, for no reason whatsoever

Mozilla’s FireFox

Basics : FireFox is fast becoming the browser of choice “for the rest of the web”. With a sustained 17-20% market share, this is definitely a browser you should take into consideration when designing sites. The only major issue I have with FireFox is that because it’s still in pre-release form (as of this writing we’re at 1.0 RC2, meaning a final version isn’t far off), I’m not sure how often its users are upgrading their browser and new features/bugs are being added and worked out with every version, so it’s hard to say “this works with FireFox” or “this won’t work with FireFox”.

Versions : Again, it’s hard to say. But, I keep my FireFox up-to-date as best I can. I’m currently using and designing for 1.0 RC2, since it’s so close to the final candidate that also makes it the safest version to design for.

Special Exceptions : Like Safari, there are few (if any) things that FireFox will fuck up, so there’s nothing I specifically avoid doing if I know FF users will be viewing the site at some point. However, because I know that anyone using FF also has another browser (like IE or Safari) installed - I know that if there were feature FF couldn’t support that made a site I was working on useless without, I’d just put a note to FF users to temporarily use another browser. It’s not a pretty thing, and certainly not something I’d prefer to do - but it’s my best advice to those of you doing things that for some reason FF won’t support and your site won’t otherwise function without.
