IE question
As you can see, I've added advertisements. I looked at the site in IE today and noticed that there is a lot of wasted space on the right hand side of the screen, and it would be nice if the blog entries could push the ads into the blank space and have more space for themselves.
I use the Mozilla browser (not the Firefox variant though -- no google address bar searches in the Firefox version) and this site fills up the whole page and looks fine. So if anyone wants to email me with tips as to why the page isn't filling up the whole screen in IE then I'm open to suggestions. In the meantime, I'll try to figure out the problem myself.
For your comparison (Mozilla on top, IE on the bottom):
I recommend checking out the Mozilla browser suite if you've never tried anything but Explorer. It has a nice email client and a pretty decent one-click HTML editor built.

Hmm.. What google functionality is missing from Firefox?
Btw.. you should use Mozilla/Firefox's 'context search' functionality. For example, go to www.imdb.com, right click on the search field, click 'add a keyword for this search' and make it 'imdb.' Then all you have to do is type "imdb Irry Trog" in the address bar and it automatically goes to the results page for the search field you keyed. Pretty cool!
In my (lowish-res) firefox display, the ads kind of overlap the rest of the screen. I'll email you a screenshot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had been manually editing the style sheet for the page to fix the problem of the overlapping ads. Now it should be fixed. I didn't realize that the Movable Type program was overwriting the changes I had made to the stylesheet everytime somebody posted a comment or I updated an entry. It should be fixed now though.

I use IE at work, and Firefox at home. I actually kind of like the way your posts show up in narrow columns when I use IE, but either way is easy to read.
Keep up the good work--the site is looking great.
