  2. I am really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems?
    A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.

    Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?

    1. Thanks. I changed the theme just recently. So far no issues reported by anyone. Why don’t you try a few themes on different browsers first to check compatibility? Regards
