My use of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.owlfish.com\/software\/PubTal\/\">PubTal<\/a> means that I can easily roll-out a new theme, although at this point I have to update the templates for my weblog separately from the rest of the site.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got an initial design, and although I need to make some further changes, it&#8217;s looking fairly good in Mozilla.  Unfortunately it doesn&#8217;t look anywhere near as good in IE, because IE doesn&#8217;t support the min-height CSS property.  Apparently Safari doesn&#8217;t support this either (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.apple.com\/internet\/css\/safari_css.html\">documentation on the properties Safari supports<\/a>), although Opera does.<\/p>\n<p>Using min-height is really nice because it combines the ability to ensure the background image of a block is going to be fully visible, and yet still allows the block to grow with it&#8217;s content.  The only alternative is to specify the height, in which case content will overflow if it&#8217;s too large, for example when the user selects a larger text size.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to see if I can change my design to take this into account, I would rather not have to use CSS hacks to try and hide the markup from IE, because it&#8217;ll still be a problem for Safari and probably other browsers as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to come up with a new design for my website.
