Little premise: don’t think Firefox is better becase it has AdBlock, I can ensure every browser has adblock plugins.

So I am going to tell you about my nightmare: I am building a complete restyling for FoOlRulez. Want to see it? Try it: http://foolrulez.org/woxxy/blog/, even though I am not yet decided on fonts to use, nor it’s completed (for example, if you view the page). It works great on Opera, since it’s the primary browser I use, and it works pretty good on Firefox, Chrome and Safari as well, beside some more problems with the fonts. Now, count the fact that the font is wrong, it will simply look a bit misplaced: since I have to make it compatible for both Windows and Machintosh (I work on a MacBook Pro), the font will need a lot of retouching, but that’s fine, I am just unexperienced and have no real idea which font are conformed in HTML.

That’s right though, I fully learned CSS (it’s for the design), HTML (the text of the page) and quite a bit of PHP (the active content) in order to make possible for FoOlRulez to have a completely original website design, that can make simpler browsing the website through wide use of images and big titles, while making the page smaller. Also, for how thankful I am to Justin Tadlock for the theme we used for a year even though it’s modified to the point of not being recognizable, I don’t want to credit anyone anymore.

It shouldn’t take more than few days of hard work – and I am good at working hard –  but I was suddendly stopped from going further with the developing because I checked the situation with other browsers to see how it looked. At the beginning it looked fine just under Opera, but easily I made so it could look fine also on other browsers. Yet, there was no way for IE8 to show the page correctly. I am still stuck honestly, maybe the website was ambitious, but this is beyond myself for now.

No Google Chrome: the version for Mac is still being devloped.

In other words, there’s a 20,34% of the users using still Internet Explorer, so I am just going to try over and over again till I make that website I am creating work for IE users too, because the number of people using it is still far too big to just go and ignore them.

That’s why you should take more care when you decide using a browser, not only for the features it can give you, but also thinking about the developers like us, that must trick your broswers in order to display correctly our Web 2.0 websites.

You find usual forum posts boring and want to add some colors? You think that a single color is kind of monotone?

Yeah I know. That’s what I thought as well. So I made a little php script for this.

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
