Seems that the temporary theme I loaded (Areos from http://thebuckmaker.com/) had an issue in Firefox (and only Firefox – well maybe BlackBird as well since it used Firefox as it’s engine). Now I don’t want to blame the theme’s developer for my mistake. I made the change in the header so this was someting I did…his them works fine out of the box.

As I switched over to Google Chrome from Firefox I didn’t think I had to check Firefox for issues with my blog theme changes.  I mean it’s normally Internet Explorer that has issues so like most web designers I know we use our normal browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome) and rune a check in IE for problems.

This time nowever it was Firefox that had the issue. Everything worked fine in Chrome, Safari, IE  & Opera (I view my designs on my iTouch).

The issue was that the Aeros them has a comment counter and since I screen my comments heavily I rarely have comments to my posts. So I commented out the code (normal php commenting code of  < !– and — > – of course the spaces would be removed so the comment would work…this is to illustrate) and everything looked fine in Chrome and IE so I thought nothing of it.

Then one of my readers let’s me know the site is screwed up.

I figure he’s on, say, IE 6 or something like that but in talking to him he is on Firefox!

Firefox is having issues? Firefox. FIREFOX?!?!?

He was correct…Firefox did not recognize the commenting out of the comments counter. It wasn’t until I actually deleted the code that the site showed up right.

So to anyone trying to view the site in Firex, I humbly apologize.

Guess it’s time to get serious on the new theme and look…as well as checking the site in ALL browsers from now on.
