Lisa mentioned to me when I was home that this site causes IE to lock up. I never use (or rarely ever use) IE anymore at home. I do use it when working on my sites to make sure everything looks okay. But when I did the redesign, I just didn’t really care about IE.

I encounter the same issue on my computer when I try to view this site in IE. And I have no idea why. I took out various pieces of the sidebars that I thought were causing the problem. Didn’t help. I took out the sidebars completely. Still didn’t help. I don’t know if it’s a plugin that’s cauing the problem or something else. When I first put everything up, the site verified both HTML and CSS.

So … I’m gonna try one of the other themes and see if it still locks up in IE. If it does, then I have no idea. If it doesn’t, then I guess I need to work on my theme to figure out what the problem is.

Stupid IE. People … use FireFox. It’s better …

UPDATE (9:44am):
Well … I just tried 2 other themes, one of which was the default WP theme. The site still locked up in IE. It must be a plugin. Gues I’ll have to deactivate them one by one to see what is causing the problem.

UPDATE (9:54am):
I found the problem. It’s the Lightbox plugin that I’m using. Dangit. I like that plugin. For now, I have it deactivated until I can figure out what the problem is. Hey Lisa … leave me a comment to let me know if you can view this in IE now.

UPDATE (11:02am):
I tried a different Lightbox plugin. Everything appears to be working now … even in IE. The only problem is that the archive dropdowns show up on top of the pop-up image in IE. But I’m not gonna worry about that.

As I mentioned in my last post (point #1), I was offered a postion at a company here in town on Thursday. I just called them and turned down the offer. I REALLY hope that it wasn’t a mistake. I do have reasoning for what I did.

As I also mentioned in my last post (point #3), I have a second interview with the first company I had interviewed with tomorrow morning. This is the main reason that I turned down that job offer. If I had accepted that position, I couldn’t have went ahead with the other company. Or if I did and was offered a position, then I’d have to tell the other company that I was offered a position elsewhere that I would rather have. And that wouldn’t be polite or proper to do.

The company that had offered me a position isn’t a web design company. I would just be working on the company’s website. The company that I have the second interview with is a web design company. That’s one of the main reasons why I would rather be there.

But … what if after my second interview, the company doesn’t offer me the position. What if they give it to another candidate? That is what has me worried and scared. I don’t know what I would do then. I don’t really have any other web design/programming options after that. There just isn’t anything here in Fargo. And I don’t want to relocate.

I’m really scared that I screwed up. But I had to take a chance. I want this other job. And there’s no way I could have pursued it if I had taken that offer. I just have to think positive. I did NOT screw up. I did what was the best for me. I will be okay. Everything will work out. It has to …
