IE7 Hover strangeness

I was working on a sliding CSS menu for a client recently. Tested the new functionality in Opera, Firefox and IE6 – figured I was good to go. Reviewed the item with the client and found it didn’t work in IE7. After some research, realized I wasn’t alone. There are other people having random difficulties [...]

Paris in Jail

I’m sure everyone has heard about the latest Paris Hilton drama, but I thought I’d put it here too. I should probably feel sorry for the poor girl, but she did the crime – now she has to do the time. The best part… With the news that the judge had sent her back to [...]
