I’ve never really taken a side in the Internet Explorer vs. Firefox battle simply because I think both offer great options. Truth be told, people who get overly bent out of shape over this little rivalry give me a headache - they just have to have some better cause to champion. Wouldn’t you think?
While there’s nothing wrong with having a preference, saying things like, ”I know this doesn’t work in IE, but too bad…” or “My blog doesn’t look good in Firefox, but so what…” just show that you aren’t as concerned about others as much as you are yourself.
Decidedly uncool.
I actually use both browsers, so I can see how my blogs and sites look in each - in an effort to keep my visitors from seeing fugocity in whatever browser they find themselves in. When Firefox first came bounding on the scene, he did crazy weird things to fonts and web pages. He has evolved to the point that I think things look as good in FIrefox as anywhere. The differences are actually really small now.
I HAVE found, in all honesty, that if you use Wordpress to publish your blog, you’ll be far, far, far better off doing so in the Firefox browser. I had a few small issues with things not working exactly the way I wanted them to. Knowing that a great number of technological masterminds (such as the ones who develop Wordpress) use Firefox religiously, I decided to write my posts in their browser of choice for the day.
Sure enough, the small issues I had were NON issues in Firefox. As a bonus, there’s the amazing spell checker that lets you know instantly if the e got anxious and came before the h in the or if your brain checked out on you and you misspelled a word.
Using Firefox for blogging is a sly move and can save you a lot of time and effort. If you’re battling a certain element in your blog publishing and wish it worked another way, launch Firefox and I’m pretty sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
