My apologies to Internet Explorer users...

While you should be using FireFox anyway, the sidebar on this page is not longer visible in Internet Explorer because the of the Peek-a-Boo post hack that I'm using.

I've finally gotten the code to work, which required using a second hack they didn't have connected to the first post over at Beautiful Beta. However, now the SideBar doesn't show up in Internet Explorer, which is really frustrating.

I'm going to work on getting it fixed, but if I can't get it soon, I'll be scrapping it altogether.

What's odd is that I've seen other Blogger pages that use this hack that seem to have no problems at all in internet explorer, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for me. I have the feeling that it has something to do with this way that blogger forms the floats for pictures, but I think it would be easier to remove the code and just let my posts run long than it would be to go through and try and change how I've posted pictures in all my previous posts.

Of course, it wouldn't be an issue if Internet Explorer wasn't such a terrible browser, but being it's still the dominant browser (people tend to use what's already there, not knowing that it is really terrible), it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep my blog malformed in IE.

Oh well... I've wasted enough time on this today.
