not just another anime blog
I had a day off and decided play God and create a Frankenstein’s monster of WordPress themes. The idea was to have a fresh theme available just in time for this site’s upcoming one-year anniversary. I got so carried away, I spent a larger part of the night working on my unnatural creation while a storm violently raged on outside.
Late was the hour when my abomination to God was completed. Just one look with Internet Explorer to make sure that old piece of crap displays it correctly. Internet Explorer doesn’t like PNG as background? Fixed. Perfect, absolutely perfect. What the hell is this? I’m not able to mark the text to copy and paste? Fuck. Turns out the original theme had the same problem. It works in Firefox but not Internet Explorer.
After several trial and error attempts, I discovered that it is possible to mark text in Internet Explorer if I remove or break the sidebar. But the sidebar.php looks fine to me. Not that I actually know anything about coding, because I don’t.
The one-year anniversary is coming up next week. I doubt I’ll have anything ready by then. I happen to have a lot school work due for next week. Internet Explorer users have to either hold out with not being able to mark text for a week or two or simply get a better browser.

Ha, I fucking love it! Two nekomimi’s up!
Quite possibly the best blog theme out. Awesome work, yo~
I use Internet Explorer, and it seems fine to me.
I really like it, by the way. It’s pretty.
It does? I’m only able to mark the text in the sidebar. Sure, some would call it a minor problem, but it annoys the hell out of me.
I’ll try to FUBAR it and hope that it eventually works. If that fails, I’ll start hacking and chopping a new theme with my sick mind. It would of course be in the same spirit as this. Finding a decent theme to customize is quite hard though.
FYI, it works perfectly in OS X Safari too.
Good job.
Internet Explorer are for losers. IE users, too bad. You don’t deserve to look at the web. lol.
Ha ha, well said, Hisyam. I just updated my theme too, and it appears to be ok in IE. The text highlighting is a little wonky though. Seriously though, who needs IE when we have the almighty Firefox?
[…] What with me updating my own blog’s theme, the banner contest over at Pretty Scythe and lolitron’s new IE hatin’ theme, I guess this is anime blog update season huh? Maybe I will make a banner for the contest, maybe I won’t. Everyone’s doing it though! I actually have a cool idea for a header and tagline, but I dunno if I could actually implement it well. How are my own headers looking? The Magikano one looks a bit out of place I know; maybe I’ll replace it with something monochromatic like the other ones. I feel that since I have a unique header (that rotates), and I’ve gotten comment spam, I’m a real blog now! Well, not me myself, but my blog.And yeah, I’m hoping to actually blog about anime soon, but where are the subs for the new season? I could try previewing a series raw; now that would be comedy gold.
