Song of the Day: Offer Nissim feat. Maya - Alone

After over a year of Kylie, my Veronica Mars obsession has inspired a new layout. It's overly simple, since I just wanted to get something new out. It's still wonky. I'll be beating it into submission over the weekend.

Can anyone explain why IE6 is reading the beige color on the far-left .jpg differently than it should be, resulting in the non-seamless transition between the .jpg and the background behind this text? It does it when I change it to a .png version of the graphic, too. How do I kill it? Suggesting that all my viewers switch to Firefox does not help, since I am not the boss of them (although I would like to be).

Also, can anyone explain why that bottom portion of the table on the right side insists on having such huge spacing issues? If I remove that table row completely, everything spaces itself evenly. I will give a gumdrop to anyone who figures it out.

Notice the Vox link on the sidebar, for quick access to my newish reviews blog. Also notice that my "email" button now actually points to an email address that I use. How novel.

I find the text-align:justify; css attribute incredibly hawt, by the way, since we decided I was your blog design's liege lord. Lady? Oh god it's early.

woot! New design, looks nice, and using IE 6 here and it looks like a seamless transition to me.

I don't know half of what the hell you just said, but the layout looks amazing!

I love that your Amazon.com wishlist has more video games than girly stuff.

Also, you listed House of Leaves in your books list! What an amazing, fucking creepy book! I thought only my brother and I knew about that book. This is triumphant.

Oh no, Jeff, HoL is the Official Kallurian book. I still get creeped out just THINKING about it, and it's been a few years since I read it. Have you seen his new book yet?

Holy cow. I didn't realise that amazon kept profiles -- I just looked at mine... I haven't got a wishlist or anything but damned if it isn't keeping track of everything I do on amazon!!!
