Request: Could some of you all tell me if the photo in the previous post is displaying in your posts correctly, and/or in the feed reader? It doesn’t show up in Firefox as a post on either platform, but it does show up in Bloglines in FF. And it shows up in Safari but not Camino as a post, and also shows up as a post on the PC on IE6, but that’s irrelevant (as in I have no plans to really fire IE up or use it). Anyway, seems to be some combination of newer Mozilla engine, WordPress and posting from flickr.
Got to remember to try it by coming to WordPress and putting it up here. I guess I ought to put some stuff at my own domain. Just so damned convenient to tell flickr to blog a specific photo. Anyway, off to bed soon. Time to calm down and think about bed.

displaying fine in bloglines/firefox/macosx, but not at your actual page in firefox.

Thanks! That’s what I get too. Seeing as it fails at the page in Camino too, I suspect it has something to do with their common rendering engine and/or maybe being more “strict” in their standards-compliance.
Not sure what I think of Camino yet. Miss E turned me on to it. I’d heard of it of course, but she gave it a glowing endorsement a couple weeks ago. Played with it some.
But you know what the biggest disincentive to switching to a new browser is? Getting all those damn logins and passwords into all those freakin’ login formats! No, id on’t know my login/password quite possibly; that is what browsers remembering shit are for. And I can usually navigate into FF and make it show me them, or even maybe the Mac show me, but *that* is a pain! It becomes far easier to use what works now vs. fixing the thing you might end up using if you could just make it work now.
I do appreciate a bit of security though in my browsers. So, just saying it is a disincentive, not a death sentence to a new browser. The main (initial) selling point for me was that it supposedly works natively with LEEP Java, unlike FF on a Mac. Don’t know about FF2 and LEEP Java yet; or at all really. I see no reason to play with the beta. Being in the midst of the semester is basically being in a “production envinronment.” It is *no* time to be making major and possibly unstable changes in one’s computing environment.
Have you tried FF2 yet J?
