The Reconstruction

I don’t run Internet Explorer, mostly because it sucks. As a result, it took me a little longer than it should have to notice that this site design has the nasty side-effect of causing the page to render all wrong in IE (with the sidebar below the main body) anytime a link breaks across lines. From the viewpoint that designers have to design to some sort of standard that they can expect to be supported by browsers, this is really a problem with IE, not the site design… unfortunately, I want people to be able to browse this site easily, so it’s my problem now. I’m slowly going back and replacing spaces in links with non-breaking spaces, which creates really ugly justified text at times.

So to the IE users out there, I offer a half-hearted apology, and I’m working on it. If you’re forced to use IE, you have my sympathy. If not, go get a copy of Firefox immediately. It’s better, I promise.

I’ve also added a few more links to various economics weblogs on the sidebar. While I may not agree with all the views expressed on all the weblogs, they’re all quality.

Finally, I also made an icon for the site (it’s supposed to be a wrench tweaking at a globe, but it’s hard to do that sort of thing in only 16×16 pixels). I made it mostly just so that browser requests for it would quit showing up in my error logs, but now for those of you who bookmark the site, you’ll have a little picture to remember us by.
