Designing Blogs For All Browsers
One of the most complicated things to do lately is design websites or choose blog themes and templates that render correctly in every type of browser, including: FireFox, Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8, Opera, Google Chrome, Safari…etc. Some people write tons of extra code into the browser to format the content style sheets a certain way depending on browser type, but you end up with a surplus of bloated CSS code or html code to try and make your blog fit perfectly with every browser.
Simplicity is the winner here, try to find a very minimalist theme and style and tweak it to suit your needs. One of the best and simple blog themes I have seen is now being used by Postcards From The Funny Farm. Damien has gone through several themes over the past several months and the latest theme is just easy on the eyes, simplistic and keeps the user focused on the content and not what is going on all around the sides of the blog.
Also his blog renders perfectly and exactly in every single browser I have tested, whereas some of my blogs have problems with IE7, or Opera, by keeping with a simple and elegant theme his blog renders perfectly every time, all the time.
I want to adapt some of my blogs to a more simple theme and design, I just haven’t decided what I want to do with them yet. Meanwhile I encourage you to check out one fine blog example of simplicity and elegence over at Postcards.
