I just finished updating the site to Drupal 6.3. The reason I didn't do this earlier, was that Brilliant Gallery was not available for 6.X. Now it finally was, so I updated.

All in all, everything went smooth. The theme needed a few tweaks here and there, but nothing big. There's probably a few things here and there that do not yet work perfectly, but I'll fix them as I find them.

Thanks for the Drupal community for the continuous development!

OK, so now the site should look about the same with IE (6 and 7) as it does with Firefox and some other browsers I've tested. Some hover-effects don't work, but this shouldn't affect the sites usability much.

Most bugs I was already familiar with, but one was new to me: the negative margin bug. You can run into it even if you don't use negative margins, but the fix is the same: Specifying three rules (that shouldn't do anything) on the buggy element:

position: relative;
zoom: 1;
margin-top: 0;


Note that "margin-top: 0;" is not part of the fix in the above mentioned article, but fixes alignment at some places (actually moving the element down, not up, as one might expect).

More handy info on CSS bugs can be found at Position Is Everything and hasLayout.

So, after many times of thinking about making myself a website, I finally got it done. Part of the credit belongs to the Drupal community for providing a great CMS!

There's not much content on the site yet, but I'll try to get lots of stuff up in the near future. Also my theme will probably need some small modifications for it to work nice with IE.

Enjoy the site!
