Brad Wilson: Joshua...
Don't worry about breaking your blog for non-IE users. It's
already broken.
If you are viewing this weblog using IE and are wondering what
that empty space on the left is, it is the picture that I was going
to post with my Front Porch story. If someone can tell me how to
coax IE into displaying it, I would appreciate it.
This pages is
Valid XTHML 1.0 Transitional and
Valid CSS. That doesn't mean that I didn't do something wrong
and tell it to layer the picture under the text, but if so, I can't
figure it out, and it does render correctly with Mozilla...
Update: Olivier
Travers provided a workaround. Thanks!
Update: Peter
Stuer provided a better workaround. Thanks!
"There used to be a time when southern houses were known for their
front porches: a place to cook off, to watch the world, to talk things over.
The home and the road came together at the porch, and people who didn't meet
anywhere else could meet there for conversation and business. Today, in a
world of air conditioning and mass-market subdivisions, the front porch is
not as prominent in southern life as it used to be...
"Some porches, of course, were built to overawe visitors, not to entertain
them. And there are rules about who could and could not use the door. Our porch
is not like that."

I have now been a weblogger for a year. My weblog has become my front
porch. Next week I am going to have lunch with a number of
close friends,
most of them were people I didn't even know existed one year ago.
The following week, I am going to repeat this with some new friends on the
west coast.
