In case you were wondering if I was ever going to launch the MoveableType version of DMfM (and even if you weren't), I'll tell you why it's still not launched.
Everything is pretty much ready to rock, I was just about to throw the switch, when my elite team of beta testers (in a variety of countries) brought a problem to my attention.
The new main page displays just fine, in any Macintosh browser, and any Windows browser except Internet Explorer 6.
Yes, Microsoft - masters of over-engineered software - have struck again.
If you view the page using IE6, the whole layout is deformed, and one of the three columns doesn't even appear.
I've spent the past two days researching possible workarounds, until Micro$oft deign to get off their fat arses and trying following some standards that the rest of us have heard of.
I've found two possible fixes I can code into my front page, but guess what? Neither of them seem to work, despite claims to the contrary by certain people in certain MT forums.
So, I'm holding off on throwing the switch fully over to MT, until I find either a fix, or hear that M$ have issued a patch for the problem.
Incidentally, if there are any template and/or style-sheet gurus out there who fancy lending me their expertise, I'd greatly appreciate it. So far, I've not managed to customise the comments pop-up window, and this is vexing me somewhat.
Email me if you think you can help.
