I was so contented and peaceful with my Wordpress theme, Peaceful-Rush, for quite sometime now. Until I read Ajay’s “This site is (still) best viewed using Firefox….” article.

I am new to blogging but not to web development. And it is to my frustration that i wasn’t paying too much attention, to what I thought I’m working hard at, these past few weeks. Charmed Moms Club becomes a vision to me. And so, i was spending some time and effort and a lot of thinking to make this possible.

As every web designer should do, I have checked the site’s layout, alignment, and visibility on different resolutions. I asked friends who are using different isp’s from ours to check if they have problems viewing the website. I even checked from different browsers. The answers, everything was okay. Since I was creating a webportal, and not solely the blog site for Mom Writes, I just had a few run down checking with my Wordpress theme. What slipped off from my mind was to check my CSS with IE. Yes, the Blue E.

The PeacefulRush Theme i was using had issues with the browser IE. Is the Browser War not over yet? What ever it is that results to my Peaceful Rush being-not compatible with IE is a pain. But pains, often go away, leaving beautiful lessons. I am now using a new theme called Syrup, by Nick Berlette. It’s very manageable and neat. Syrup is packed with a suite of features that will help you manage your site without any difficulty, or maybe less. You can manipulate Custom Color Schemes, Sidebar positioning, Font Sizes, and a lot more in a very user-friendly way.

I am now, not only peaceful, but comfortable with my new Syrup. Not only good for pancakes but works perfectly with Firefox, and just a lilliputian issue with IE.
