IE Does it Again
I’ve just been informed that users of Internet Explorer cannot highlight and copy text from either Phatic Communion or Phatic Verse. Checking out my version, IE 6.0, reveals the truth of it. Because I use Firefox almost exclusively, except for when I check out the appearance of my blogs, I never knew I had this problem for IE users. (Opera, like Firefox, allows easy highlight-copy for text.)

When trying to highlight text in entries, everything above the point of the cursor was being highlighted, including the header, and dragging the cursor down didn't extend the area of the highlighting. This is one of the oddest things I've ever had to fix. The wrapper division for the whole page was set at position:absolute with 0px from top and left, and IE apparently thought that's where all the text began (very top right/left corner of the screen.) Removing the positioning style altogether from the wrapper division fixed the problem.
