Working on a custom blog program for myself, it's not finished yet.

It renders properly in anything using the Gecko engine. It also renders fine in Opera, and validates as XHTML transitional.

It probably doesn't look very nice in Internet Explorer, damn div's. sad.gif

The header is a semi-transparent png with a background color that changes based upon the server time. It's supposed to kind of simulate the sun rising and setting (though with no real accuracy). It's an idea I got from iGoogle and Animal Crossing, and thought would be cool to use on a blog. smile.gif

The main thing I am wondering is how secure is using ".htaccess" and ".htpasswd" to protect my "administration" section? I can't see any problems with doing it like that, but I just thought I would ask you guys to be sure. icon_up.gif

I am pretty sure that the .htpasswd works well enough that you won't have to worry about you admin sections of th esite. (Many web hosts use a .htpasswd for logint o the control panel, and if they are willing to use them they must be fairly secure).

The sie looks fine (using IE6) I can't tell anything off tthe bat that is positioned wrong or anything. My biggest piece of advice at this point is to start posting some longer (like a paragraph) length posts just to see how it works when things get stretched out a bit.

Site looks fine.

Thanks for taking the time. smile.gif

I posted a bit of Nietzsche on there and it seems to scale fine (I think that's what you meant).

Yes, that is what I was talking about. It is always to good idea to try that and see if your divs/tables act the way they are supposed to as you get more content in one area.
