You know your blog has hit the bigtime when it starts getting spammed heavily.
Actually, it probably just means I’ve hit an inroads with whatever it is that populates the morons database. Luckily WordPress has settings that let you approve comments before they’re posted so I can stay on top of this crap.
Unfortunately, it appears that of the 31 comments I’ve gotten over the life of the site, 7 were legit, 24 were spam – but at least one of those legit comments was from a complete stranger, that’s a start, right?
I wish someone had told me Lando was running before I went out to vote today. He even filmed an ad in the DC metro (at least it looks like it to me).
If you haven’t voted yet…then you’re probably not on the East Coast….but I’d strongly recommend you vote for Lando.
So it turns out it was my attempts to make the menu semi-transparent that killed it in IE. I’ve since modified the CSS to get the same effect, and IE ignores the opacity setting there, so now the menu works (as far as I’ve seen up to this point) in both FF and IE….
So I thought I’d finally gotten the menu working correctly, it looked great in Firefox, it looked great in Opera, and it looked great in IE 7 too. Then I got in to work and tried it out on IE6 and…failure, the same stupid problem with the sub-level menu’s not folding out.
I’m sure it’s partially related to IE’s standards compliance issues, but at the same time the demo’s for the plugin I utilized work in IE6, so there might be a setting that just needs a tweaking….
