I use a website program called MRSITE to create my website. With NO programming knowledge what so ever I am extremely confused. I have however learned quite a lot from viewing the source of every website and trying to see how it relates to the website we all see in front of us. MRSITE does not however allow the basic page structure to be changed via HTML. There are many things I can do but the css part is all fixed. I therefore have to upload a background image and hope it fits via trial and error. I also have to test on different screen resolutions. A I correct in saying make it look best at the most common resolution used and put up with the fact it will look poor on other resolutions. Great article none the less.

One of our customers told us our website wasn’t looking too well and after a little digging, I Googled your blog (Thanks for the helpful links!). Found it was not working on Chrome. Got me interested and went to Google Analytics and saw the % usage of each browser…I would never have thought that.

Also, found usage of mobile devices, especially the Iphone is growing fast. Going to keep an eye on this now. Thank you for the helpful website!

Just testing out my site in BrowserShots again.

So many browser options to choose from.
Only chose 4.
Took 20 minutes to upload 2 browser shots, 23 minutes for all 4.
Free but very slow again.

thanks for these as well, I had a cross browser problem today and thanks to Browsershot I was able to fix it. Now if only IE would get it’s act together.

Thanks for the advice. I was advertising my site with adwords and didn’t realize that it wasn’t displaying properly on various browsers specifically Explorer 6.0. This is a problem as when I checked Google analytics about 6% of visitors were form those who used this version of Explorer.

I hooked up another computer the other day. Running XP, firefox – went to my website – it was blue. Font looked awful, width, height sizes were crazy….I felt kind of sick to my stomach. I had know idea.

The only real difference is the monitor and the monitor/machine screen resolution.

For back ground color I had to make sure the css used “bgcolor: #FFFFFF; – using ‘background-color’ or ‘background’ came out blue (ish) leaving image backgrounds white so the whole page looked awful.

Fonts: I like goergia for content but I’m considering generic arial or verdana – just because of the rendering differences.
