my friends, the change is coming. . .

i have written and been testing my new groovy layout for this site, based on xhtml and advanced css. i've written about this before. but i want to give you all plenty of advance warning that the change is coming.

the new site will have some formatting that is compatible with netscape 4.x browsers. however, most of the site and the features i plan to add during the rest of the spring and summer will require more modern browsers. almost anything with a 5 or 6 in it will do, whether that be netscape 6, ie 5 for mac, ie 6 for windows, or opera (5 for mac)/6. all these downloads are free; they cost you nothing but some time. . .

i am well aware that on the mac, ie 5+ is really as far as you can go; and the majority of you, dear readers, are like myself, mac people! so don't worry: i am testing the site with ie5 for the mac to make sure it will work for you!

however, those of you still with netscape 4.x -- i've said it before, i'm repeating it now, and i'll soon repeat it again: please upgrade to something, anything! i don't want to leave you behind. . .upgrading will not only let you follow me, but will also enhance your web experience on many other sites.

i will confess, however, that since my web statistics show that internet explorer is the browser about 75% of you use, i will be targeting the features of that browser more closely. . . .
