Steve – Ah ha! Well hey – at least your plug-in is working, even if it’s being a little overzealous!

I just installed some new Amazon.com advertisements on the sidebar of the blog. I’ll also be integrating advertisements for the items that I review within the text of the review entries. Shouldn’t have a negative effect on anyone’s viewing habits, though.

I think I’ve figured it out,and it’s not down to IE at all, rather it’s an IE plugin that I’m running here. When I disable it, the error box doesn’t come up. it makes sense because it’s an ad blocker that interacts with scripting. I’ve just never seen it do that before so it took me some time to figure it out. Allowing the ads from your site would fix the issue. I’ve got no problem doing that since you’re not serving up pop-ups on people.

Marty – I did check out your blog the other day and I like the design. Good work.

Steve – Ha ha ha! Who would have thunk that IE would crap out?

I tested the site in IE 8.06 and FireFox 3.0.4 and it worked well in each browser. I also built the design for this site using the default Kubrick design as a base specifically so I wouldn’t screw it up and have visitors getting errors like that. I’ll do some research to see if I can find out what caused that error.

Firefox works fine, no error. What a surprise.

Glad everything went so well. I know these changeovers can be a real bitch sometimes.

Speaking of which…

Whenever I load a page on the site, the following error pops up:

Stack overflow at line: 2890

Not sure why it’s doing that,but I can’t imagine it being an intended site feature. It happens in IE7, havent’ tested it out in Firefox yet.

Not sure if you’ve been to my blog as of late. I changed the design earlier this week and I think this new theme is much more interesting and gives the site an overall more professional look.

Marty – thanks! I’m looking forward to doing more by having one blog in one place. I’m in the process of reactivating my Amazon Merchant account (or whatever it’s called) so I can place links in the blog to sell certain items that I’m reviewing (DVDs, books, etc).

Jacob Spades – yes, everything you ever wanted in one, convenient location! We’ll see if we can’t get some more unnecessary complications posted up here for you soon. Some people love reading a good tirade, huh?!

A one-stop shop for all of my NJ news?? I’ll take it! Best of luck with the new design. You know I’ll be looking forward to much more of your thoughts!… especially the unnecessary complications.

Congratulations Joe,

The new site looks awesome.

As a fellow blogger (perhaps, part-time blogger better describes me?), I certainly understand your excitement of the new blog. I wish you the best of luck for continued success with Joe’s Journal, in addition to TBLWrestling.com and XHeadlines.com.
