Time for a little blog-cleaning!<\/p>\n<p>Regulars likely noticed the blog has had a make-over recently. Not usually one for change, I had little choice after discovering that my old theme was being destroyed by Internet Explorer. After testing 3 different versions of IE (6, 7, &amp; 8), I found that each version rendered my blog differently, and none for the better! Photos were skewed and distorted (a major no-no in my books), sidebars disappeared and formatting was practically non-existent. Since almost one third of the people who visit are using Internet Explorer, I wanted a more consistent theme. Why Microsoft continues to fail at web browsing is beyond me, but I would recommend anyone using Internet Explorer to consider making the switch to another, more web-friendly browser (my favourite is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/firefox\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a>, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/index.html?hl=en&amp;brand=CHMA&amp;utm_campaign=en&amp;utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk&amp;utm_medium=ha\" target=\"_blank\">Google Chrome<\/a> is another great choice). [\/rant]<\/p>\n<p>As a consequence of this theme shift, I had to reset my RSS feed, so if you had previously subscribed, you&#8217;ll probably need to resubscribe. Click the green button on the right and choose your feed aggregator of choice from FeedBurner.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the blog is looking good and working for everyone (hopefully), I&#8217;m going to keep the content coming at a more regular pace. The last few months have been a little more hectic than usual, but with a final road map to completion for my Master&#8217;s set out and the majority of work completed and written, I&#8217;m anticipating having more time to set aside for blogging. I&#8217;ve got some weekly features to implement, topics to catch up on, and plenty more!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biodiversityinfocus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/twitter-bird-big.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-944\" title=\"Twitter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biodiversityinfocus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/twitter-bird-big.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Along with more content, I&#8217;ve signed on to Twitter, so get ready for a daily stream of posts, links, and other entomological miscellanea ready to help you procrastinate!
