IE sucks

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 … G-grin

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.
