Go to the Mozilla website RIGHT NOW, and download the Firefox 3.0 beta 5. It finally works with Xanga, much better than Safari does in fact. (And you all know by now that Internet Explorer is a JOKE and a PC death wish...)
In addition to being one of the safest and most universal browsers out there, Firefox 3.0 will add color management which, for anyone concerned about imaging veracity, is a godsend that until now only Safari has had. If you have ever had trouble getting images to look the same online as they do in photoshop, this is ONE more step (of many) in the right direction...
Also, it has an improvement on the password memorization feature, such that it only asks you if you'd like to remember your password AFTER a successful login, so that it doesn't remember the WRONG password like it used to do sometimes lol...
Although you really SHOULD go to www.1password.com (if you own a mac) and use their award-winning program for generating and storing ridiculously impossible passwords. Hehehe...
Anyway, how to turn on color management in Firefox 3.0: Once you've installed Firefox 3.0, (don't worry you'll keep your bookmarks and passwords) type "about:config" into the URL bar, and then find "gfx.color_management.enabled" and double click it so that it changes from "false" to "true". Reset Firefox, and you're GOLDEN!
NOTE: Like I said, this is just one aspect in the nightmare that is web color. Be SURE that you are already uploading EVERY image, color AND B&W, in the sRGB color space, preferably WITH the sRGB profile, and that your monitor has a gamma of 2.2. This will guarantee that your images look perfect not only on YOUR computer on the web, but also on everybody else's computer...
Take care, and please don't hesitate to leave a comment with any questions / problems!
