I must agree with a lot of people out there that Internet Explorer is uncool, boring and insecure.

To echo this general feeling, I have just added a small badge at the bottom-right corner of the Web page that reads “Too Cool for IE”. How I did it? I followed these instructions (Spanish) but to make the long history short, these are the changes I did for WordPress 2.0.4:

1. Download too_cool_corner.png from here.
2. Upload too_cool_corner.png into /blog/wp-images.
3. Log in as Administrator on WordPress and go to Presentation -> Theme Editor and click on the Stylesheet link at the right hand of the page.
4. Add the following code at the bottom of the CSS file:

   a#noie {
     position: fixed;
     right: 0;
     bottom: 0;
     display: block;
     height: 80px;
     width: 80px;
     background: url(/blog/wp-images/too_cool_corner.png)
     bottom right no-repeat;
     text-indent: -999em;
     text-decoration: none;
   }
   

5. Under Presentation -> Theme Editor, click on the Main Index Template link.
6. Finally, add the following code just before the closing </body> tag:

   <a href="" id="noie"></a>
   

Cool, isn’t it? Oh, wait! Still using Internet Explorer? Then go and download a real Web browser 🙂
