It should be fixed now– it was an issue of the code used for the random banner photo

I’d guessed that it was something like that, so I tried putting it to “No Style” & back again, but I’d not tried reloading.

Hope that you manage to get it sorted.

Emma,

Thanks- this is exactly the case of a browser not connecting to the Stylesheet, what you are seeing is unstyled HTML- if you hold SHIFt and click Reload in Firefox, it will clear. I am trying to figure out why this happens, and it seems to happen in Firefox.

I’ve just been looking at your new blog in Firefox 2.0 (Portable) and the templates aren’t working. Other sites are fine, (e.g. this one, other blogs), so it’s not a Firefox setting.

The site is fine in IE 6.

It’s told under “Draft 0.0″ heading– I use the banner rotator script:
http://www.hiveware.com/imagerotator.php

that returns a randomly selected banner from a directory. You use the URL to the script inside the directory anywhere you need a reference to an image; so my header template has a style that uses it to be the url value for a background declaaation.

if you reload the front page, the banners as well as the case study in the lower right will change. The banner rotation is easy,

I’d like to know how you achieved the banner rotation. I tried the PHP method I used to use under Movable Type and it didn’t work. How are you getting it done? Er, let me know if you have the time and energy.

This site looks great! You’ve come a long, long, long way from where you began, man.
