We went live with the new site design a week ago, and although I have heard nothing but good things about the new design I have also heard some random and sometimes conflicting report of the visuals on the site behaving weirdly. The only one that I, myself, have noticed is a bug in Safari where it prints a second copy of text over the first, correct copy, giving a double vision effect. However that went away all on its own (as far as I know) after last night. I have also had a report of the background not filling all the way across the screen on the right, leaving a large white space; and another report of the left side being marred by large spaces in certain browsers. Although I have tried, I could not recreate either of the last two compaints, so I turn to you. Have you noticed anything looking a bit off (or wonky) please give me a shout in the comments. Thanks!
I can’t fix what I can’t find.

Now that Hell Yeah Bitch! .com is one of the huge throng of sites that are hosted on Dreamhost, I decided to go all out and enter us in the “Dreamhost Site of the Month”. All was good, untill I was reviewing the comments and I noticed that someone wrote: “Your sidebar is wonky.” I thought our sidebar was about as unwonky as a sidebar could get, but oh well each to their own.
That is until I looked at the site in Internet Explorer. Somehow I missed the fact that the sidebar was in fact wonky if you are visiting via IE. Damn, a little html add fixed it well enough, but it pissed me off for a few reasons. 1. Our sidebar was wonky, I didn’t realize it, and it cost us a higher rating on a contest that no one really knows or cares about. 2. I pride myself on making sites that are the same in Firefox, Safari and IE. This one wasn’t. 3. All the 39% of the people that come here via IE didn’t bother to tell me that the sidebar was wonky! Come on people, you can’t really think I wanted the sidebar to look like that can you!? Damn!
Anyway, the sidebar has been de-wonkified and I have officially typed “wonky” more than I ever thought I would in my life.
