Well, I don’t blame CSS for how this site looks when viewed in IE6 (thanks, Microsoft). After making a few minor changes to the layout, I viewed my site in various browsers to make sure that it still looked right.

• Firefox - Looks good.
• Opera - Looks fine.
• IE7 - Padding issue on some elements, not that big of a deal for now.
• IE6 - What the hell happened?

After trying a few different things and getting increasingly frustrated, I started looking around for answers. After about an hour of searching, I found that my layout is suffering from the Creeping Text Bug.

I’m in the process of fixing this bug. In the meantime, my apologies if you are viewing it in IE6.

After a bit more research I found exactly what was causing the IE bug. Applying the Holly Hack to the blockquote element seems to have fixed the problem.

The folks over at Happy Cog have redesigned their site. It really is amazing. The layout, the colors, the style… all superb. The thing that struck me as the the best part of the new design is the navigation.

Most site navigation that you see on a web site is either a horizontal or vertical unordered list with either simple links or buttons pointing to the other pages. On the new Happy Cog the navigation is folded into a mission statement outlining the basic goals of the agency. Genius!

Its one of those things that I never would have thought to do in a million years, but when I see it, it makes perfect sense.

Congrats guys on a wonderful new look!
