There is a good chance that if you're using Internet Explorer of any generation, or FireFox 2 or pretty much any older browser, that this site is going to look very funny. Broken even.

That's because there is an experiment going on here; this site is built using HTML5 markup. In paid professional work, I have to "make it work everywhere" which typically means the lowest common denominator. But this is my place. I can afford to try out different things. I believe that the semantic value of <section>, <article> and <header> tags is huge. The calculation of the header level will be a great boon when including content in many different, and unexpected, in the content hierarchy of a page.

This site is also using the latest CSS specifications where possible. Some browsers do better with that than others. IE6 will probably always be a basket case but with its individual market share at 15% and dropping like a stone, its probably time for you to upgrade to IE7 or try IE8.

I make no apologies for not checking this site against multiple browsers. Tweaking out every browser is a lot of work that I would rather spend writing articles. However, feel free to send be bug reports; I'll get to them as I can

I am a Web Architect and Little Fyr is where I talk about how to build applications and content sites on the Web. It is also the name I use for giving presentations at user group meetings and conferences. I have more than 8 years of experience developing web sites and applications and I have learned a lot of interesting disciplines along the way. In general, people in our line of work are either visual/UI/grapic designers, back-end system developers (Java, .Net, Ruby), or front end ui developer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). I fall into that group of people who is knowledgeable in all these disciplines and more besides.

Like me, this site is a work in progress. I hope to publish something every two weeks. We shall see.
