Problems with new beta version of Blogger and IE

For those of you visiting this site with Internet Explorer and can't open the 'My Travel Pictures Map', there seems to be something wrong with either Internet Explorer or with this new beta version of Blogger. I will have to submit the problem to either Flickrmap.com and to Blogger.com to see if they can fix the problem (besides the map issue, the formatting of the page is a bit screwy too).

In the meantime, the quick solution is to use Firefox. Click the Firefox w/ Google icon on the left under 'My Travel Pictures Map' to sign up if you don't have Firefox already. According to many in the tech industry, Firefox is a far better and safer browser anyways. It is my default browser and everything on my Blog works and looks fine, including the map! Thanks.

Finally got this blog set up... whew!

After a few nights of tinkering with this blog's template - I was first inspired by the amazing Flickr website and it's many 3rd party tools like Flickrmap.com in particular - I finally got the basic template re-worked to my liking. I have uploaded over 160+ public pictures, had them indexed by Flickrmap and finally got the html codes to work properly within the template. I haven't worked with html since I set up my cooking club website over 2 years ago in Shanghai. I must say, so far, I am pretty happy with the outcome here.

Click on the 'My Travel Pictures Map' to the left to get a pop-up flash window where you can see many of my travel pictures that I've taken over the years. More pics to be posted over the next week or two!

Let me know what you think. Cheers.
