Well, at least it is here in southern California. So I decided the time had come to spruce up my blog--a Spring cleaning, if you will. I've mentioned several times in the past that you can view my blog using 5 different themes. These themes are located in the sidebar--probably on the right hand side of your window, unless you are using the Spring theme. To select a different theme, simply click on one of the 5 tiny icons in the sidebar under "Pick a Theme." Each represents a different theme, loosely related to the seasons.
I just updated the Spring theme which now includes, in the top banner, over 100 of the pictures I've shot around the world in the last year. Many of these pictures have not yet been otherwise posted to my blog! So this will be their "world debut:" pictures from Moscow and Yekaterinburg, Russia; pictures from Petra, Jordan; pictures from San Antonio, Nevada, Arizona, Maine, and of course here in California. And, rare though they may be, you will even find a couple of shots feature me! And, the text is larger on the page by default. Finally, I've noticed that most of my visitors are viewing my blog with higher screen resolutions, so the size of the blog itself is larger as well.
The only way to enjoy these photos at present, is to click on the shiny, multicolored bug in the sidebar under "Pick a Theme." I also used a number of new elements and CSS styles here-to-for never used in any of my themes. I know these are visible in the Safari browser (Windows and Mac), but they may not work in other browsers: a glass transparency affect in the navigation bar and text shadowing through CSS may not work in other browsers. IE users' computers may simply melt trying to render my site. Curious to know what the Windows experience is. I've abandoned supporting IE6. It's just such awful technology!
So click the bug, and... Enjoy!
In IE6, the banner to my site completely disappears! The background on the sides is also gone. And the navigation bar has no "glassy" transparency. Just weird!! This is a mess!

Above is a screenshot of my site in Safari for Windows on the left and IE7 on the right. In Safari, the banner appears with the "glassy" transparent navigation bar and CSS shadowed text.
