bookmark_borderInternet Explorer hint

Posted on

Dear everyone with a white background on their website,

Are you sure it’s white? Have you actually specified in a stylesheet or in the body tag that it should be white? Or does it just look white to you because you are using Internet Explorer’s default settings.

To check, in IE:
1. Go to Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click Colors…
3. If it is selected, deselect “Use Windows colors”.
4. Click OK, and then OK again.
5. Load or refresh your site in the browser.

This has been a public service announcement on behalf of Snowgoon Designs.

I’m posting this because I’ve recently changed those settings and a few sites I’ve stumbled across suffered from the “think they are white” problem. If I’ve left a comment on your site to that effect, this is what I was talking about.

(No not the Jamie Lee Curtis remake of the Jodie Foster movie)

On Friday I’ll finally get this damn cast off my leg, then head to Larkhall to try and get a halloween costume booked, then it’s home and then out to lunch with my parents. Then we’ll book into Lang’s Hotel, and probably go catch a movie, before having dinner, a few drinks, before retiring to our themed suite.

Ohhh and that same day I’ll turn 30.

I’m not sure how I feel about it to be honest. At the moment I’m kind of non-plussed, it’s just another birthday after all. But… well, there is something about changing that first digit I guess. I’ll no longer be twenty-something. Of course the fact that I’ve always looked older than my years, have already started the ‘balding’ process (I like to call it ‘thinning’ actually), and have long since been the only one of my group of friends that is married, means that I’ve always felt about 30-something.

One thing that puzzles me though is this, when did turning 30 suddenly become a ‘big’ birthday? I’m pretty sure that it used to be 18, 21 and 40 that were the only ‘big’ birthdays. When did it change?

Ohh and the obligatory “I’m not hinting but..” Amazon wishlist, is over there on the right – where it says Amazon wishlist, ohh alright, lazy bones… My Amazon Wishlist
