For those of you who use Internet Explorer 7 or greater, you've probably noticed that the navigation bar that has "Home," "About Me," "Contact," and "Disclosure Policy" on it is now flush with the main content part of the blog. I had another epiphany today--apparently it has been my day for them--that involved me trying to fix the problem while logged into Blogger in IE. I then opened up my home page on Firefox and slowly changed the numbers representing the navigation bar's top and bottom padding, refreshing the display after each change, until I got the bar to look right in both browsers.The good news is the adjustments are properly reflected in Opera as well. The bad news is that they aren't displayed correctly in Safari and Google Chrome. The bar now goes behind the main content, not in front or on top of it as I intended. From what I've been able to tell on the Internet, the problem has something to do with WebKit, which both of those browsers use but Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera do not. I have yet to find a way around the WebKit problem so I'm going to follow the advice stated in Google's FAQ section and report the bug to WebKit. Until they tell me how to fix it or someone else does, I can only apologize to those of you who use those two browsers.
My apologies also go out to those with Internet Explorer 6 or less. I used PNG images so my header and certain images on the sidebar would be transparent over the background. Now all you're probably seeing is a big, ugly grey box in place of those images. I think that I found a fix for that problem on BloggerBuster.com. I'm going to be trying it either later tonight or tomorrow. Please let me know if it helps.
