Never Learn To Quit Learning
I am a little disappointed this week. I planed on having a partial website up, and almost did yesterday. The problem arose when I discovered that I did not know how to deploy a rails application. I don't even know how to program rails yet, but following a few tutorials I am on a crash and burn mission to have a website ready to host many games to come, I just need a bit more time with it.
I have programmed in PHP and Java quite a bit. I enjoy the simplicity, power, and wide array of feature PHP provides, but I always wind up with a mess of code strung out everywhere and it is hard to manage. I like J2EE's way of laying things out, but I am a bit of a tight wad, and found that J2EE servers are a bit more expensive on a per month basis. Ruby on Rails offers very affordable hosting for someone who only dreams of making big money on the internet, and offers a host of powerful features and a clean MVC framework.
Anyhow, while I was typing up this blog post, I decided I could transfer what I needed to a simple html file and put it up for testing. I am calling this an “Ugly Test”. If anyone has time, test the page with your browser to see if it works and let me know here on the blog or email me. I already know IE 6 and below will not work. The png translucency and one absolute position are causing trouble. The position is minor, the png trouble is not, and I will probably have to work out separate artwork for an IE 6 and below web browser. IE 7 should work, and I would like to hear from someone with IE 7. Firefox is what I build with, I am using an older version so it should be fine.
Other browsers I am unsure of are, Netscape, Safari, Konqerer, SeaMonkey, Opera, and others. Once again, feel free to contact me, your help is greatly appreciated. The page is here. Bear in mind I still haven't added a few things (bottom of the page navigation, etc), and the links do not work. Feel free to tell me how ugly it is, this is the site for it. :-)

I updated the site with some IE 6 css hacks. It should work with translusency now. Fixing the side bar position was funny, I just rearranged two blocks and violla. :-)
The css hack come the url listed below. It doesn't have to be table, it will work with any div tag if it is a class.
