IE6 gives web developers the most headaches, and that includes me. It’s unsecure, bug-ridden and outdated. And so, I chose to support the efforts of the people at IE6 No More The IE6 No More plugin for WordPress is my small contribution to this cause.

What is it?

IE6 No More plugin for WordPress is the hassle-free implementation of the HTML code available at IE6NoMore.com website. It shows a box, similar to the screenshot above,  at the top of the page that notifies the IE6 users of your blog that they are using an old browser, and encourages them to upgrade to a more modern ones.

How does it work?

The way plugin works is it first detects the browser in use at the server-side. Once it sees that your blog reader is using Microsoft Internet Explorer, it inserts the IE6NoMore.com notification code. The notification box is only visible to users with version lower than IE7.

How do I use it?

This plugin requires the latest version of WordPress. To install, just follow the following:

  1. Download the plugin and extract it in your local drive.
  2. Upload ie6-no-more to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  3. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.

Hello again! It’s been a while since my last post and no new free template to give away either. Oh well…busy, busy, busy with work as always.

Unfortunately, the world didn’t stop for me to take a breath and so WordPress version 2.8.4 has been out for nearly a month now! But thanks to Matt Mullenweg’s blog post on how to keep WordPress secure I was persuaded to look at my own blog. I suggest you read the article and always upgrade your WordPress-powered blogs to the latest version if you have one. It’s the only guaranteed way to protect your blog anyway.

Haha! Got my iPhone last Saturday and I’ve been playing with it since. Even with its lack of copy/paste and SMS forwarding iPhone is still the perfect mobile gadget you can get.

Next buy would be the GelaSkin and GelaScreens…hello Jerome hehe

This was posted via the WordPress iPhone app and it has no text formatting and linking support. Just hope they would add these features in the next release.
