Followers know I hacked around on my blog design, trying to steampunk it with a newspaper theme, then Kirk came in and cleaned up afterwards.
Well it happened again. Seems that while I was just so darn proud of my theme, everybody that used IE - only 90% of the friggin’ world - was seeing crapola. I was only checking my hacking in Firefox.
Kirk has just been too much under the weather to tackle cleaning up after me, so I asked Rachel to give it a go. (Get better Kirk!) Rachael’s nice and all that, but she never drove a submarine!
I needed two things: upgrade two blogs and write CSS for IE to make this one look like I want. She did both, AND put up with my incessant picking at her while she was working. She did a great job. She blogs too. And has a new husband. And Ian. And two dimples. And lives in Michigan (my home state.)
I give Rachel my highest recommendation.
Thank you Rachel.
UPDATE: Just to be clear, Rachel didn’t design this theme, in case you think it sucks. She just made it work in IE.
Like I said, if all my clients were as awesome as you, I would have SUCH an easier time.
My dimples and I are your friends for life.
Rachael’s last blog post..I have sisters
@Rachel: Yeah, I RAWK.
No matter….I like your blog style. I am not sure if you saw my comment yesterday, here, but you do have an award for your blog at my personal blog. {Friday’s blog]
I like Rachael’s dimples, too. My son Matt has similar dimples.
Is there anything in the world better than a cute techie, male or female?

Hey Sixty,
Sheesh! No wonder you dumped me for Rachel. She’s better at code and a heck of a lot better looking, I don’t care if she never drove a submarine (a dubious honor at best). Still working on the health issues, if I can keep the VA away from me long enough I might actually get ahead of it.
Kirk M’s last blog post..A Pitstop in the Elections
Hi Rachel,
Nice job on the theme! He never looked better (and that’s quite a chore). Now for some reason, I’m not getting the puke green color for the content in IE 7.0 that I’m seeing in Firefox 3 (nightly’s). This probably means that Sixty loaded up yet another badly coded widget or gadget into a post or the sidebar that’s keeping the page from fully loading in IE. You really have to watch that guy. (Hey there, Sixty!
)
Just between you and me, I like the all over newspaper look of the blog I see in IE 7.0 without the pea soup spilled all down the middle. Of course I just had to say that.

LOL, Kirk - I think you and I should be friends.
I see the difference too - I think he might have taken the background code out of one CSS file and not the other one.
Rachael’s last blog post..Taking it (sort of) easy. Okay, not really.
@Kirk and Rachael: Just pretend like I’m not here.
Yes, since you both have to clean up my messes, you should know each other, kind of like the coroner and the undertaker should know each other.
I see I screwed up the right side nav in FF somehow too. Maybe I’ll just wait and see if FF3 fixes it!
Yes, I don’t took the body background out of one place.
Yes. Kirk and I are best friends now. We are hatching a plot to… well, if I tell you, I’ll have to kill you. And I like you too much, so I can’t do that.
Also, FF3beta5 sees a slightly messed-up sidebar, but maybe the release candidate will love on your blog better! Who knows!

Hey there,
Yes Sixty, Rachael and I are best buddies all around and we have something in common…you! (aarrr!)
Hi Rachael,
The sidebar was broken in half on a short post (single page) and was stuck under the content plus the comment box was overlapping the sidebar a bit (in the Firefox 3 nightly builds). Both appear to be fixed now to be fixed now.
About that plot; I think we’re being too….easy on him. Don’t you?

I’m repeating myself now myself now.

@Kirk: I’ll bet its a Firefox problem. Firefox problem.
