Worked on my website all weekend. Love it. Had a ton of fun doing it. I emailed family and a few friends to give their advice after I published it. Out of the 8 or so people that have viewed it, one is saying that things don't line up, that text is covering a picture, that a picture is covering text, etc. Everyone else has said that it is perfect, no problems. Does anyone know why this one person is having a problem viewing the website correctly?

It could be the way their monitor is set up. If they have it so everything is "magnified" then it can certainly make a difference. Maybe not with all websites they view but some and most it will look different.

I'm probably wrong, but when I had downloaded different browsers some websites appeared differently and weren't compatible with the internet language used on the website. Is that it, maybe? Did the person w/ the problems use a different browser?

Without too many details, it's hard to say. What kind of design software did you use? What that browser are they viewing it through?

It could be browser conflicts, resolution differences, cookie refusal, if you are using cookies. Etc.

I agree with the different browser situation...I remember that happening to me a couple of times.

I used Homestead to create my website. My sister was using her computer at work. I'm assuming it's Internet Explorer, but I'll have to check with her. It's making me so nervous that my website is out there, but it may look wrong to some people. *biting nails*

I'm so new to this website stuff. I'm pretty good with computers in general, but this is all new to me.

Thanks everyone!

We could check if you want. I'm sure you'd get plenty of feedback!

I'm too nervous to let anyone see it yet. I don't take comments well, good or bad. I know, so stupid. Maybe after I get my first order, then I will feel good enough to show you guys!! (I did get an order, but it isn't until a party in June! LOL!).

p.s. My sister said she is using IE and after checking with the details on my website maker, it said that sometimes Netscape doesn't load webpages correctly if there is an error in my HTML, blah, blah, blah, where IE overlooks those mistakes, etc., etc., stuff I don't understand. I give up. It looks good to 99% of the people who have viewed it and I don't know how to fix it.
