I’ve change our site so that when someone reaches it, it will be “rendered” in the “old” IE7 method by using the wordpress plugin IE7 Compatibility Plugin 1.0 on this site.

If you have IE version 8 (IE8) (the latest and “greatest”) and are experiencing such crashes at other sites check out this link.  Force IE8 To Load and Display Websites in IE7 Compatibility View Mode.

Finally, I recommend to folks on Window PCs (non-Macs) to consider using Firefox.  It’s available for download at http://getfirefox.com.  I’ve used it for years and find it more stable and secure than Internet Explorer, and due to all of the available free “add ons” can provide greater functionality that IE7 or IE8.

Finally, if you are STILL having trouble with our site, my apologies (although I realize that if you are reading this, you’re not having troubles right now, but in case the troubles are intermittent or those without troubles can forward you this I’m putting this up here.)  If you would please email the following information when it happens, I may be able to solve the issue:

1. Approximate date and time it happened.
2. What Operating System (OS) you are using (e.g. Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS 10, etc) (if you know)
3. What browser you are using (I’m assuming Internet Explorer if it’s crashing).  To find the version of Internet Explorer it can be found under the “Help” menu at the top of the browser.  Go to the “About Internet Explorer” and select it.  A window should pop up that tells you what version of IE you are using.  I just need the first number (e.g. 6, 7, or 8).  Don’t worry about the plethora of numbers after it.

Thanks!

Kirk

We’re currently using WordPress 2.5 and I wanted to take advantage of the widgets so I switched over to a newer “theme” and have modified to look more like our old one. The main difference will be sidebars on both sides.

Let me know what you think!

I’m just heading off to give Ella her 1:00 AM medicine, it sure hard to get her to take it. It’s amazing how strong she is and how she can actually get her feet up to her mouth to try to get the medicine away from her!

So, since I’m not exactly sure how I want to proceed I think today I will simply say that life has been good to us so far in 2008 (aside from the winter cold which is still running through our house). We took a much needed and relaxing vacation to Hawaii to visit friends, and Ella proved herself to be an amazing traveler and happily went where ever mom and dad went.

We are approaching Ella’s 2nd birthday on April 9th and we are amazed at how fast she is growing up! Our lives have all changed so much in the last 2 years and I am eagerly waiting to see what comes next. April will also bring surgery for Miss Ella… Kirk and I have decide to remove the giant nevus (hairy mole) from her scalp. While we don’t like the idea of putting Ella (and ourselves) through this process, the thoughts of cancer / melanoma are too hard to ignore. So, our beautiful little girl will look a little funny for a few months, but I’m sure her amazing attitude and smiles will carry us all through!.

Well, that’s all for today… I wonder when I’ll write again.
