Can somebody tell me what's wrong with IE6 and Movable Type's default index.html template? I keep getting that problem of the text not wrapping for the browser window (this is not a problem in Netscape 7, or in IE5, but knowing that IE6 is the leader --the most likely browser used --- I want to find a solution). I've tried many suggestions. I'm just not enough of a Perl/MT techie to know what to do , or what I'm doing wrong. I've seen other MT -based sites where the problem doesn't exist. Usually they've done saome re-arranging of the colunmns. I tried to do it manually but somethign broke when I did it. I even upgraded to 2.64, but the same problem occurs.
Go to my MT blog of this and comment or Trackback (Trackback is so cool...this is the major reason I decided to try MT)

Back when I was working on that DMin project (focusing on Online Community and the Church), I ran across this article in WIRED mag. Jennifer Cobb soon published a book entitled Cybergrace, which sits on my bookshelf. She alerted me to a then a somewhat obscure theologian named Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. I had run across some insights of his via a seminary professor of mine, Glenn Hinson, who described the "Theistic evolution" concept to a youth group under my charge back in 1980 (we were having a weekend retreat, and the subject was Prayer, so we had Dr. Hinson, who was a writer of books on Prayer and Contemplation. I don't recall the tie-in to theistic evolution, but I suppose it was something alomg the lines of how one, to be "in nature" in order to be more closely atuned to the physical IN ORDER to be most aware of CREATION, and thus be in a state of "proximity" to God via that "mental mechanism" (actually, to "sit in creation" as a means to "be creature" and thus dependent upon and "in" God, just as God is IN nature.)
Anyway, Teilhard has been "adopted" by those enthralled with Online Spaces, as a "forseer" of the "networked spirituality" that now is discussed in some in the theological community (who also happen to be "geekily-inclined"). Cybergrace (published in 1998 by Crown Publishers, is a book I have lifted off my shelf and onto the desk where I will be picking it up again, to review 5 years later and see what this study says to me today, and what new angles on this field of study have emerged in these 5 years since. What with all the tools produced to run on the TCPIP networks, and my "hands-on" experiences since that time, I see the chances of "new thoughts" as high. Stay tuned.

Smart Mobs has this entry on games that "use" the online world and the physical world, suggesting to me that there may well be some interesting Online Community implications, and also perhaps for Online Education, as ftf classrooms and online classrooms meet
Virtual World, Street, Mix It Up In Mobile Game. Uncle Roy All Around You sets online players alongside players on the streets of London.
Street Players search for Uncle Roy through the back streets, the tourist traps and the leafy boulevards of Westminster with a handheld computer.
Online Players cruise through a virtual model of the same area, searching for the Street Players and looking for leads that will help them find Uncle Roy.
Using web cams, audio and text messages players must work together.
They have 60 minutes and the clock is ticking... [Smart Mobs]
Webcams, hooked up via WiFi, live from classrooms? "Blogging" class notes, class discussions, etc. The possibilities "stream" in.
