How I hate that piece of software. It rates up there as one of the five best ways to waste your life.
I’ve no way of testing it in IE7, which I hear is more attuned to web standards, but hopefully you lucky Vista people are seeing this site the way it was meant to be seen.

I’ll figure out a way to satisfy IE6 next week, hopefully.

Update: I figured out the main problem with IE6. For those of you interested in such things it was a matter of increasing the padding in the css, enough to push the title down enough to make it visible.

Re the problem of seeing it in IE6, Fergus Cassidy contacted me to recommend Browsershots.org

It’s a great open source service which shows you how your site looks in practically every browser. In the meantime I discovered another great service,
NetRenderer, which only tests IE 6 and 7 (and the differences between them) but has the advantage over Browsershots in that it is almost instantaneous, whereas with Browsershots you can wait up to half an hour for the result.

Incidentally, the same padding bug is in both IE6 and IE7.

Anyway, thanks Fergus, for going to the trouble of passing on that link.
