hopefully the site should look OK now, inshallah

Date: March 24, 2004 | 1 Safar 1425 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: website
As noted by Zack in the comments, the results of my recent stylesheet modifications caused both this page and the Al-Muhajabah's Islamic Blogs index page (you have heard of it, haven't you; you don't just visit this page only, do you? tongue ) to look pretty funky. Hopefully I've fixed both problems. The former required a CSS hack because IE 6 is buggy, the latter required untold hours until I finally located two unclosed tags that were causing the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update 1: Carol in the comments pointed out that my site had fallen victim to the infamous IE peekaboo or scroll bug, which causes parts of the template to disappear unless you scroll up and down or highlight the text. I've implemented a fix and it seems to show OK now according to BrowserCam. If anyone is still experiencing this or any other bug, let me know. I switched over to a pure CSS layout and now need to find and resolve all the browser bugs. Thanks!

Al-Muhajabah, as long as you're tweaking your page, do you think you might be able to put in an RSS feed? I read your blog via an RSS newsreader called Bloglines, and if you install a feed it'll alert me every time you have a new entry so I don't miss any. Just wondering.

I have three RSS feeds, all of which can be read through Bloglines (I've checked them myself). Atom, RSS 2.0, and RSS 1.0.

All of these are linked near the top of the left sidebar on the veiled4allah page where I hoped they would be easy to find deathstare

OK, for some reason Bloglines isn't showing recent posts on the Atom and RSS 2.0 feeds even though when I pull up the feeds themselves the current posts are clearly there. The RSS 1.0 feed seems to work properly, though. Maybe Bloglines needs to update its handling of RSS 2.0 and Atom?

When I opened the page, the pink background that is usually behind the text wasn't there, just the gray art. I scrolled up and down a few times and the pink came back but the top of the outline around the text box remained missing. Don't know if this has anything to do with what you have been working on but there you have it.

The notorious IE "peekaboo" or scroll bug! Argh!!!!!!!!

You haven't truly hated Microsoft until you've tried designing webpages using CSS. wink

Looks fine on IE6 now.

PS. I lie the spelling suggestion for IE. The 1st one is "Die".

Yay!

IE is fine to browse with, though Mozilla has some cool features. But it's a pain to design for.

Bloglines reads a lot of Atom feeds pretty well, including the one I set up through Blogger. The feed URL you sent me works the best, that's the one that ends with "index.xml." I might try using that suffix on other blogs with which I'm having problems, to see if that works better with them.

Oh, good. The .xml one and the Atom one are newer versions of RSS (yes, there are multiple versions) than the .rdf one so it's no surprise that they work better. It must just have been some temporary problem that they weren't showing as updated for me tongue
