I made a website for the folding bike ride I'm organizing in April. Go check it out!

http://socal.folder.ride.googlepages.com

I think only IE users can see it though, 'coz I used mht instead of html. When I try to open it using firefox, it forces me to use IE. Gross. Sorry to all the firefox, mozilla, opera, and safari users!!

(To the more html savvy folk: how do I fix the compatibility issues?)

Seems the mht format is even causing exploder to live up to it's name.

Go HTML, what do you use that even MAKES a mht file?

there is no way to convert it back from mht (microsoft injection of all images and layout using private to their specs VRML), but I assume you have the design on your computer some how. What program did you use to layout the page. Can this program output your page as HTML?

You can always install the IE Tab Add-on in firefox ... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

Let's you switch to IE rendering with one click, then open the URL, and it opens as if you were in IE.

+1 on the IE add-on, although I just left IE on as an alternate browser when I installed Firefox.


Nice site! I'm looking forward to this ride. I'm already putting out a "heads up" on it...consensus is that it's a great idea. :)

Now to get all the folder riders to come out of the closet...or give folks a good excuse to buy that folder you've been admiring...;):)

I was using microsoft publisher 'coz I wanted to use their template page (laziness--didn't wanna start from scratch). Anyway, it can save as html, but when I try to upload the individual files to googlepages, the links get all funny.

Ah well, back to drawing board. Shoud've used nvu from the start...:o
