Let me just start this with a very brutal admission: I CAN'T CODE TO SAVE MYSELF!
If this site looks good in *any* browser then it is a case of blind luck and coding by the seat of my pants. See, I agree with the idea that a site should work in all browser types, resolutions and operating systems but it takes so much effort to just to make it look semi-decent on my own machine that I fall into the "well everyone should have a decent computer like me" mentality. Its bad of me, I know.
This redesign more than any project I tackled before caused me to look at how the code works and what it does. Y'all were majorly impressed that Michele managed to code her own site, well I'm just as dumb as her (can't work out if thats me insulting her or me complimenting myself) when it comes to code.
The one piece of solid information that I have is that nobody (ie: less than 0.1%) views the web on a resolution under 800x600. Thats my only guarantee. Browser types or versions I can't say, I'm notoriously bad myself at not upgrading straight away simply because I don't want to be the guinea pig for the latest version of the hidden Hackmyregistry v6.0.0.2 feature. But I figure I'm supposed to be designing for version 4 and higher, thats seems a pretty good estimation to me.
CSS or tables? Well I can understand tables... they're like building your site like a puzzle. You slot the sidebar buttons in here and the connectors there and then you drop that into a browser and it looks nice. CSS I haven't got my head round yet, but I'm trying real hard here Ringo.
Now, reread everything above and be impressed by the fact that I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! and just to be absolutely sure...
