The Debate Is On
Word is that John McCain will be participating in the presidential debate tonight after all.
Meanwhile, lots of people emailed to complain that Internet Explorer 6 was balking at loading LGF. It appears to be an interaction with the new ShareThis feature. I’ve made a code change that may fix it; if you’ve had the problem and it’s now fixed, please post a comment and let us know.

Good news — the same code trick that lets ShareThis work properly with IE6 also works with our popup calendar.
So you die-hard Internet Explorer users now get the ‘Daily Archives’ feature that other browsers have. It’s the button in the left column, right below the ‘Blogs’ menu, labeled ‘Daily Archives’ (oddly enough).
UPDATE at 9/26/08 9:53:10 am:
The trick: I simply moved the <script> tag that loads the ShareThis Javascript file out of the <head> section of the page and into the <body>, if the browser is Internet Explorer. This gets around a bug in IE that causes it to crash if certain operations are attempted before the page is completely loaded. From a code purist standpoint, it’s not very elegant; but it works, which is more important.
