One of the great challenges for today’s Webmaster and Blogger is making sure that everyone can see your website “in it’s full glory” just as you had designed. What works in one browser, however, does not always work for another. Sometimes, it even breaks and your site may not show up at all!

The folks at WordPress.org recently announced that they are discontinuing support for Internet Explorer 6. Despite the fact that it is ten years old and three versions behind (and even Microsoft does not support it), 11.4 percent of the world is still running it at the time of this writing! (overwhelmingly in China, of course!)

One website of note who is keeping track of this trend is The Internet Explorer Countdown and one site that’s trying do do something about it is Browse Happy. Browse Happy provides links to the most current versions of all the popular browsers on all platforms to help you deliver the best experience possible to your visitors.

One great tool you can try before releasing your website into the wild is BrowserShots.org. You can test your website in just about every browser on just about every platform to make sure it comes up. It may take a while, depending on the size of the queue when you post your URL, but it’s something “quick and dirty” you can do if you don’t have a Mac, a PC, or a Linux box to cross test on. If you have your own server, you can even contribute to the project by becoming one of the many computers on their distributed network processing incoming requests! Another service, http://crossbrowsertesting.com/, does the same thing, but it’s a paid service and you don’t have to wait in line if there are a lot of requests in the queue.
