AbandonedStuff.com facelift and bug update

Hello loyal, and hapenstance readers. Today I added a page with a video clip I made with friends a few years ago back in university.  It’s available on the Captain Insaino Man Video link over on the sidebar.  I also noticed while adding my new title bar graphic at the top of the pages, that Internet Explorer incorrectly displays my sidebar at the bottom of the page after my blog entries.  So if you’ve been wondering why my blog looks broken, it’s because you’re using a broken web browser, and should upgrade to Firefox :-) I’ll fix the code eventually I hope so Internet Explorer works too, but you’ll like Firefox better anyway if you add the right extensions or Add-Ons to it.  Some of my favourites are:

  • Forecast Fox
  • IE Tab
  • Adblock
  • Linkification
  • Session Saver
  • GMail notifier
  • FocusLastSelectedTab
  • and discontinued but cool were FoxyVoice and FireSomething.

The new header image is something I put together months ago from a sunset picture with the Wood Mountain elevator in the foreground.  It now serves as my “A” in Abandoned.  Since I had monkied around with custom colours for my title bar, I had to set it back to the default before my custom picture and colours file was displayed.  I was getting ready to bang my head against the keyboard or email Word Press support before I figured that trick out, so I guess patience pays off. I like not having the ‘567ty’ and ‘u’ keys stuck in my forehead.
