Hello everyone,

I’m sorry that I have not been able to resolve the IE bugs in a timely manner. As most of you are aware, we got this new WordPress blog up in a hurry a couple months ago because of unmanageable spam attacks in our old blog platform. The result is that I did a rough patch job to conform the blog to the look and feel of the Plimoth site at large and so as to avoid any down time.

IE is notorious for inexplicably ignoring web standards and it is a constant struggle for web developers to get it to play nice. But because so many people use IE, we try to develop web solutions that work with it. I spent a good deal of time trying to solve the IE issue today. Unfortunately, this particular instance has proven far more challenging than I had assumed it would be. I will eventually solve it, but it looks like I will have to rebuild the templates from the ground up. As I am a one person show here, this task is going to take me some time. I am sorry.

In the meantime, as many of you have suggested, Firefox works perfectly (all other anomalies are my mistake) and you’ll likely find it a far superior browser (because it is) and a more rewarding web surfing experience. You can download it for free at http://www.mozilla.com

Thanks for your continued patience.

Best
–R.

I too managed with the password I was sent — but not with IE7. Mozilla did it fine. So there’s a word to the wise if anyone else has trouble. And thank you Robbin, for the tip. It’s a great facility, it will be nice “chatting” about the project.

I also managed to get in with the password I was sent. I cut and paste from the email to be sure of matching case, etc.

When you suceed in logging on, you can change the password to one of your own choice by clicking on ‘view your profile’ then selecting ‘edit’.

I managed to get in with the password that I was sent. Did you cut and paste it from your e-mail to make sure you didn’t confuse a letter? I ended up getting in with Netscape, which plays better with the blog than IE. The link is definitely at the bottom with Internet Explorer.

Hi Jill,
The Forum sounds like fun — but for those of us on Internet Explorer who still get all the error messages on the blog (is Rich going to get a chance to get it working for us?), there is no “upper right column” on the page. I believe instead you have to scroll all the way down past all the blog entries to find things at the bottom of the left column.

Thanks,
Alison

Hi — I registered a user name, was sent a password by email, but I can’t log in no matter how I try. It looks pretty simple, so I can’t see what I might be doing wrong. Oh frustration!!

Anyone have any ideas?
