Technology can be a wonderful tool except, of course, when it doesn’t do what you want it to do. Let me offer a word of explanation to the faithful readers of this blog about why this blog may not look to you the way you think it should.

Last week I was talking to my father on the phone and he said that my blog look different. He couldn’t see the sidebar or the masthead and there was no way to leave comments. I was in a hurry running from point A to point B and told him that it looked fine to me earlier that day and that he probably had his browser set to some funky setting that caused it look differently.

Sorry Dad! Forgive me! You were right; I was wrong. So many of you are good to comment and interact and I had not heard from anyone for several days. Today, it suddenly dawned on me that I am a cyber-minority. I use Firefox as my browser, not Internet Explorer. So, curious as to what happened to you people, I opened up the blog in Internet Explorer. Lo and behold, it was just as my dad had described – right there on my own computer!

A quick email to our IT department and they confirmed that they were seeing the same thing. So, please forgive us as we try to figure out why Internet Explorer has suddenly decided to truncate my blog. Bear with us and our brilliant IT staff should have things back to normal as soon as possible.
