Wow, Internet Explorer Sucks

So I just spent about half an hour fixing my post “What Youth Ministry Isn’t” because it would not render correctly in IE. It rendered completely fine in Firefox, Opera, and even in the Google Chrome beta, but not in IE7. And the clincher of it all, is that the problem was that I copy and pasted from my Microsoft Word program. So a Microsoft web browser is not able to handle the code from a Microsoft word processor but all three of the other non-microsoft programs were able to handle it just fine… go figure. So I transfered it over to a plain text format and it worked just fine, of course I did have to go into the html and get ride of all of the left over code because even with the deleted text Office left some of the coding behind. I did end up loosing my clipart in the post, but I can live with that, at least I got it to work. I could always go back and put the picture back in, but its not really that important. It just seems like Internet Explorer is always playing catch up, I mean even the new IE 8 beta’s “new” features include crash recovery, improved CSS compliance, privacy mode, a true full screen mode, and a malware filter, basically features that the other browsers already have. Oh well, at least it’s all free and I don’t have to pay for any of it.
