Ask Dan Kellner a Question

[dknj]

Do you have a question about fencing?

Since I’m no longer competing and I’ve recently begun coaching, I’d like to share my fencing knowledge and experience with as many fencers as possible.

Whether it’s about tactics, training, equipment, or anything else concerning fencing (though do keep in mind that I’m a foilist), all you have to do is submit a question at http://www.sofaemployed.com/?p=971 in the “Post A Comment” section, and I’ll do my best to answer them in a blog post.

There's something up with your website... it makes IE choke really badly.

IE 6 or 7?

[dknj]

Fixed that for you.

True dat. Firefox, Chrome or Opera are all MUCH better choices.

I fixed it. IE tiles small bkg images really badly.

Whatever you did helped a lot, the page seems to work fine now.

I disagree on Chrome, however. It's a nice enough browser and certainly very fast, but still there are things it doesnt do well. For example, in IE it's nice to be able to lock the bookmarks window into place and scroll up and down it. In Chrome going to bookmark after bookmark is rather painful.

Glad you fixed it, Dan....on my screen it was acting like a sloooooooooooowww scroll down....irritating.

I'd prefer to use Firefox myself...had that on my old XP laptop. However, whenever I tried downloading a pdf that had been sent to me (like the invoice from one of my vendors), it woud never download correctly and open...I had to do it in IE to get the files right. Not sure what version I have...it came with the laptop, which is a Vista machine.

Valid point. I was coming at it from a web designer/developer POV. I don't like that Microsoft ignores standards.

i also love what it did with V8

Agreed, although to be fair they've all been guilty of this to some extent. At least it seems the next version of IE will be better in this respect.

But no rounded corners or dropshadow in IE... Chrome and Opera don't have enough of a market share for me to care that much.

What if we wanted to ask Dan Kellner a nonfencing question, but one that he could find an on-topic post for his blog? Namely "what are good resources for someone who finds themself wanting to know more about web design, but basically just knows some uber beginner html from the 90s?"

What if we wanted to do that?

Should one post here, or tweet at him, or comment in a blog post?
