Do not like Internet Explorer

Comments (3)

I hate Internet Explorer as a web browser because it is slow and clunky and unfriendly. Unfortunately, most of the world uses Internet Explorer because it is bundled for free with Windows and so we, as content providers, must deal with that horrible fact of how we are experienced throughout the world.

It does not display website layout as good as other browsers. Because of this, webmasters have tough time ensuring that their websites, manage to look just like how they want it too, as well as looks the same on Internet Explorer. Most of the time it will look as just good on all other browsers, but one would have to spend additional time ensuring IE users face no problem which is why most of the time templates file contain such lines

Webstandards - That's the thing here. IE have once upon a time somehow managed to make it their mission to make a webstandard of their own, so that all mankind should use only IE, and nothing else. This plan, however, took a shot to the head and the independent browser community began to make a webstandard that applies to all browsers, more or less. This haven't yet struck the geniuses behind IE, they're getting there, I'm sure... But damn, they're sure taking their time, no ?

Therefor I do not code my own site to support Internet Explorer anymore. There might be a hack or conditional comment still, but I stop now.

Clients have nothing to fear. I will keep up the good work of having clients site's cross browser friendly, that means even IE, but not my own site. I do not give a tossing frisbee for IE, and that's that. Period.

FireFox has taken over IE (combined) as the most used rboswer since January 2009 — http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

DISCLAIMER

This is my personal site, and I try to perform accordingly to webstandards. However, Internet Explorer cannot submit fully to this, and therefor I do not code my own site to support Internet Explorer. Again p-ahlqvist.com do not support Internet Explorer (IE). And anything not behaving as expected in IE is, well... Please download a proper web browser, and make your browsing experience a better one. I do personally use Mozilla Firefox and do recommend it.

What CMS should I use ?

There is a lot of discussions about what CMS is the best, and everybody have their own say on the matter. I say, it all depends on your needs.

I am speaking highly, and using both on my own site and the one's I make, of sNews CMS. sNews is a completely free, standards compliant, PHP and MySQL driven Content Management System. sNews is extremely lightweight, simple and customizable. It's easy to install, and easy to use via a simple web interface. sNews consists of only one core engine file, one independent template file and its accompanying CSS stylesheet file, plus an .htaccess file that makes all URLs search engine friendly.

If you have any doubts about wht CMS to choose, please try sNews CMS
