So I just read wen's blog for the first time in like a year and am bummed to see that my site did not show up for her in Netscape. I had no idea because I don't regularly test on it and probably never will.

I would like to take this opportunity to state my position (rant) on browsers:

  1. If browsers were televisions, we wouldn't put up with a Zenith displaying ER with fuzzy lines and an RCA rendering Carrie Weaver's face with a beard. Why do we tolerate great discrepancy in browsers? Why can't Netscape and Microsoft get together and decide what they're going to support then both support it? The blink tag should not be only for Netscape users, everyone needs the opportunity to be tortured by this tribute to HTML 2.0.
  2. Netscape 4.7 on both Mac and PC sucks ass. Don't use it. Upgrade today, you'll thank me. Netscape 6.x is better, IE 4.0 or higher is better.
While I strive to write cross-browser compatible code at work, I will most likely continue to slack on this site. I'll argue all day at work that people are still using older browsers and thus should be supported, but let's just get this out in the open here, I'm too lazy to do it in my spare time, though I love you all, my dear readers, all 3 of you. You're the best!
