How I Hate IE6 Let Me Count the Ways

Category: Site Design

After checking the analytics for my personal poker blog I discovered something I wasn’t expecting.  The visitors to my site are split fairly evenly between using Firefox and Internet Explorer as their web browser.  That’s a step in the right direction as Firefox should be the standard browser for everyone as far as I’m concerned.  The troubling information was that among those using Internet Explorer exactly half were using version 6 instead of version 7.

It’s possible to style a site for both Firefox and IE7 without too much difficulty.  I was really hoping I could get away with not styling for IE6 separately for Poker Tech Reviews.  Sadly that does not appear to be the case.  This means a little extra work I wasn’t counting on so everyone do me a favor and quit using IE6.  Ok, seriously go download Firefox and make every web developers job a whole lot easier.
