Akismet and Firefox aren’t making me happy

By Andy Denton on Tuesday, November 14, 2006 - 1:48 pm

I’m starting to get a bunch of spam comments on my blog. Random people bots are trolling my site and submitting lame comments with links off to spamville and phishland. Akismet is supposed to ward off these spamming troll-bots. But, apparently, it’s not 100% foolproof. If these spam comments don’t stop soon, I’m gonna have to look at other alternatives.

Speaking of other alternatives, we all have our preferences for our favorite browser. Mine happens to be Opera. People typically use Internet Explorer. And techies seem to love Firefox or Safari (macs). But, I noticed that Firefox is jacking up my Wordpress Theme. What the…!?!


Here’s what my site looks like in Opera, IE6, and IE7.

And here’s what it looks like in Firefox 2.0.

The fonts are half the size in Firefox. What gives?!? I’m not familiar enough with the code to figure out why.

    Did you find out anything about Opera? What could cause it to do that?

    Let me hear it!

    You can use tags like these: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>
