why did we decide to support firefox, safari and basically any mozilla-based browser and not microsoft internet explorer?

simple. the future in web design is moving away from html-based design and into css-centeric design. css (cascading style sheets) is a very optimized and more flexible way of designing web sites. templates could be formated and modified on the fly without the need for spending entire days changing the fonts, layout, and colors on every single page throughout the site.

microsoft has decided to form their own "css" standards that are non-compliant with the w3 standards and guidelines that are used by the world wide web consortium and designers. Even though internet explorer is the most used browser in the world, the browsers mentioned above perform better and are more secure for you the viewer.

so, if you see the design of this site a little out of place, please upgrade to any of the following browsers:

firefox: (mac osx, linux and windows)

safari (mac osx and windows)

opera (mac osx, linux, and windows)
