I've just spent the last 36+ hours beating my now concave forebrain into the interminable intricacies and flighty nuances of conditional CSS statements in a vain attempt to make these pages not look like the tawdry bollocks that Internet Explorer turns them into.

These images graphically represent how my brain feels trying to get blogger's widget festooned template to "scan" properly in Internet Explorer.

Seriously, what the fuck good are standards if everybody has their own. Anyone? Bueller...?
