Apology to Firefox (and Mac) Friends

It's the season of New Year's Resolutions and this year I resolved to get my life in better shape, so I have started the year right, by updating the computer. Ever since leaving the States, I've been concerned about Internet security and wondering if we are any more/less vulnerable to malicious computer attacks here in Japan. Also, I have been hearing that Mozilla Firefox is a pretty impressive not-so-new browser that provides better protection than we're accustomed to using the mother-of-all-browsers, Internet Explorer. So today, I did something about it. I downloaded Firefox and am immediately impressed with the improvements, though I am still getting used to some of the differences.

One thing that I immediately noticed when I checked out our blog using Firefox was that our left-hand column of options (Gallery, Archives, Links, etc.) was missing. As it turns out, I had created some notes in my html code that apparently Firefox didn't like, so it basically hid every bit of code between my sets of notes. I've since removed those notes, so hopefully now all of our friends who use Firefox can see what we've been talking about when we've told you about new pictures in our Gallery and new Links/Resources on our blog.

Sorry for any previous inconveniences! And welcome us to the world of the Firefox users! This picture is of a creature that was sitting in front of a store in downtown Yokosuka. If I had to guess what a Mozilla looks like, I'd guess this...
