Adherance to a web brower
Adherance to a web brower is not entirely unlike a religious committment.
One of the first things I have discovered with blogger.com is that it favours Explorists over Netscapists. In the past few months, I am one of the latter. I was converted to browsing by Netscape and remained loyal to it until I moved to the UK. Because the machines at work only came with IE, and all the websites our department designed were optimized for IE, and 85% of the world was using IE, I converted to IE. I know, not a good reason to convert, but I did.
With the advent of Netscape 7.0 with tabbed browsing and other innovations, I returned to my first love. Now with the passion of a new convert, I take umbrage at IE-biased applications and sites.
Apparently, if I want to conveniently link, bold, or italicize in blogger.com, I have to use IE. Otherwise I have to type my own HMTL. You know what? I might just do that!
