Steven Seybold Portfolio Site
Welcome to Infected Media, the portfolio site of Steven Seybold, Art Director and Designer.
A funny/good little article about how IE6 is holding back web innovation. Amazingly, IE6 still holds about 15-25% or the worlds browsers. This reason is maddening to a web developer, UI guy like myself who has to build sites so that all users get a good experience. It takes little to no time to build for most modern browsers. The largest time-suck is when I have to make any site IE6 compliant. There are hacks, workarounds and other fixes that make me want to pull my hair out.
What's the point? Well, if you are here on this site reading this, you probably don't have a problem because this site looks absolutely horrendous on IE6 so yaay. There is still a part of me that wants to fix all of my code so that everyone can see this site in the same way, I just wish I didn't have to. Please stop using it and get your friends and family off of it as well. All of the web developers you know will give you a big hug for your efforts.
