As a part of your regular blog maintenance routine remember to always check out your pages in multiple browsers. Often times everything will appear to be normal in one or most of the browsers however in another it looks completely defunct. You should be especially careful when making major changes to the theme.

Its been coming for a long time, the slow painful death of IE6. As the web continues to grow and change it becomes necessary to retire those old dinosaurs who have become more of a pain to use than a benefit.
