Sorry ie6, your names not down your not coming in.

ie6 is ancient, crap and quite frankly I can’t be bothered, not when it’s my own site. I deal too much with that in my day job to be arsing about with rendering bugs and bad programming in my own time.

So for ie6 users I have applied “Aggressive Graceful Degradation” via [Andy Clarke](http://forabeautifulweb.com/blog/about/universal_internet_explorer_6_css/) and his Universal Internet Explorer 6 CSS.

The site is still very accessible via IE6, but just no visual goodies. There have been too many advances in css for me to stick with 6 year old knowledge, to allow me to grow professionally I need to be able to play with the new toys. I mean it’s not too much to ask for li:last-child or input\[type=”button”\] is it?

So if you are an ie6 user, just think of it as a realllly minimalist version of the design, or if you want to see websites not framed via technology from the last century [upgrade](http://www.getfirefox.com) [now](http://www.apple.com/safari/).
