How Does Your Site Look On Other Browsers?

Those that follow this work-from-home blog noticed some huge changes lately, many do not even recognize it. I have to admit it took three long days to change the style, the colors, and the sidebar to obtain this new look and make it function properly. So why would I do all this??? Well, it certainly wasn’t because I am bored. Lol

Truth is, I was at a friend's house the other day and seen it through his browser which is IE, and it looked horrible! While the theme itself was quite appealing (I thought) and provided a warm and fuzzy feeling of “working from home” with the desk, the coffee cup, etc. There were about two inches of “dead space” on each side of his monitor.

All of the actual content was smashed together in the middle, and since my posts get rather long…you had to scroll down forever to finish reading one. I hated everything about it when I saw it through someone else’s eyes. Since this is my “business”, I needed it to look professional and function well as opposed to being “warm and fuzzy.” This was not an easy undertaking since this site has been well established with over 90 indexed pages, everything had to be “tweaked” when the template changed.

The reason I am writing this is to save you that aggravation by again learning from my mistakes! When you are just building your work from home business make sure you test your theme on all three browsers. IE, Google Chrome, and Firefox; these are the main three that people use and you want to know how it loads on all of them before building it up. When I see a site where everything is crammed together (like mine was) it strikes a nerve with me, it just looks tacky and unprofessional. Since I use Google Chrome I never seen my site in that way, there was minimal wasted space. The space that was wasted looked good because it accented the theme by showing the top of the desk, it really worked in my opinion.

However, that minimal wasted space literally covered one-third of my friend's monitor and it was hideous! It screamed amateur when I saw it and I immediately stopped everything to make this change. I felt as if I was a professional coming across as a total newbie, and that was a reality I was not expecting to face. I had been so consumed with reaching the top spot of Google for anything pertaining to work from home that I have overlooked a major defect for more than a year.

PLEASE load your site on the three major browsers before proceeding with all of your content, images, and links. There is a big difference between them, and when you want to work from home successfully; professionalism is everything.
