Do You See What I See??
I was at our local library the other day and couldn’t remember the name to something, but knew I had blogged about it, so I pulled up my homeschool blog and sat looking at the screen a little puzzled.
It didn’t look the same at all on their computer.
Which then got me curious as to how it looks on yours. I’m using Firefox as my browser, but the library uses Internet Explorer. If you use IE, could you let me know ~ does the top of my blog look like this to you?
I’m specifically wondering if you see the blue navigational bar right underneath my blog header. It’s a drop down menu that wasn’t on the computer at the library ~ just the ‘home’ button.
My apologies if the ‘home’ button is all you see ~ you all must have thought I was a little crazy taking a bunch of stuff out of my sidebar and not giving you any links!
I’d love to know what it looks like for you all, especially since it means I need to fiddle with some html if it isn’t working properly!! I’m using IE 8 and it wasn’t showing up on one of my computers either until I adjusted the width of the bar…so I’m thinking it might have to do with monitor/screen size.
Thanks for your help!

I just used both IE and Firefox and they both look "normal" as always =)

I use Internet Explorer, and all I see is the Home button.

I use Safari and see 'what you see'. :)

I'm using IE and only have the home button. Perhaps it's a matter of what version we're using? I think I have 7.0
By Amber, At September 30, 2010 at 7:41 AM
Well I use IE8 and it wasn't showing up on mine until just the other day when I changed the width of the bar by deleting a word. I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with monitor width/screen size.
Still fiddling to see if I can make it a little shorter!
By Jolanthe, At September 30, 2010 at 7:44 AM
I use Internet Explorer (no clue what version, sorry) and all I see is the "Home" button.
By JS Legs, At September 30, 2010 at 7:52 AM
I normally use Firefox, so it always looks as it should. However, we also have IE, so I checked on it, and it showed only the home button.
By Debbie, At September 30, 2010 at 7:55 AM
IE, home button only!
By Lily, At September 30, 2010 at 8:01 AM
I checked in Firefox, Safari, Camino, and Opera...and everything looks good!
By Lori, At September 30, 2010 at 8:04 AM
I use IE and it looks fine! :)
By shang09, At September 30, 2010 at 8:11 AM
I use Firefox and it looks great. Explorer shows only the home button!

We use IE and I see the way you see it in the picture above.
By Shaper of Little Souls, At September 30, 2010 at 8:22 AM
I use Firefox and everything looks normal...I have had people tell me that they only see Home on my page also.
By Dana Brunner, At September 30, 2010 at 8:22 AM
I use IE and all I see is the Home button also. I usually read your blog through Google Reader and didn't realize the Nav Bar wasn't working.
By Jennie, At September 30, 2010 at 8:40 AM
I use IE and all I have is the home button. If I move my cursor over the home button all the other buttons drop down in a jumbled mess that keeps you from being able to read them. It's been that way for some time, and I thought you'd done it on purpose so I didn't say anything, but it's a real pain in the butt when I'm looking for something. Thankfully the little "Select a Lable" thingie has been helpful for me when looking for printables you've done.
By Joesette, At September 30, 2010 at 8:41 AM
I use interent explorer and I only see a blue home button as well.
By Tabitha, At September 30, 2010 at 9:01 AM
I am using IE and I only see one button. Can you PLEASE tell me how you did the drop down menue? Pretty please? ;)
Blessings,

I upgraded to IE 8 and shortened the toolbar and it is now showing up on my browser ~ check and see if yours is too!!
By Jolanthe, At September 30, 2010 at 9:16 AM
I opened IE up for you *cringe* - thats a true friend right there.. just saying.. looks normal in my IE on my laptop screen..
By Anonymous, At September 30, 2010 at 9:26 AM
It shows up for me for Firefox and IE8. Even if I make my browser very narrow it shows up.
By Brenda L, At September 30, 2010 at 9:29 AM
I use IE version 7 (my IE wants to update to 8 but I haven't yet)....I see everything you see! Love the blog!
By Anonymous, At September 30, 2010 at 10:06 AM
My 32 and 64 bit browsers for IE both see it correctly
By Lisa, At September 30, 2010 at 10:15 AM
I am seeing all you can see and I'm on the most recent IE. I hadn't realised there was an issue because I usually read you in my google reader.
Thanks for your blog. Always enjoy it.
By Franbles, At September 30, 2010 at 10:19 AM

Jennie ~
Is it working now that I shortened the bar?
By Jolanthe, At September 30, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Just checked it, still only the "home" button on mine. I refreshed the screen and deleted old cookies to make sure and so far it's still the same.
By JS Legs, At September 30, 2010 at 10:52 AM
IE here. Looks good! I see exactly what you do.

I use FF, but checked my IE (version 8 ) and all is well.
By zekesmom10, At September 30, 2010 at 11:07 AM
What a curious problem! I always follow you on IE and all the navigation bars are always there. It looks like it is supposed to. :)
I do have a big monitor, I'll check you later at the library on the small screens.
By Valerie, At September 30, 2010 at 11:09 AM
It is all there. I have always followed on IE.
By Jenny, At September 30, 2010 at 11:20 AM
I use IE 8.0 and I see what you see!
By Margaret, At September 30, 2010 at 11:27 AM
I use Internet Explorer and I only have a home button on top. No navigation bar.
By April, At September 30, 2010 at 11:40 AM
I use IE and have the home button that if I hover over there is a drop down of jumbled labels, too.
By Unknown, At September 30, 2010 at 12:17 PM
I use Firefox/Mozilla and it looks normal, all the blue links are in-tact.
By Nikki, At September 30, 2010 at 12:43 PM
Not sure which version of IE I have, but it's working fine, I see all the links in it.
By Nikki, At September 30, 2010 at 12:46 PM
It looks just fine here. Thanks.
By Joelle, At September 30, 2010 at 1:44 PM
We use Mozilla and it looks fine.

Another IE user who only sees the home button

I use FF and see it fine. I tried it in IE just to double check, and I still see the entire bar.
By Unknown, At September 30, 2010 at 3:07 PM
I use IE8 and do not see the blue menu bar. But it would be SO helpful! I always have to search through posts to find the links to the geography pages I need! :-) My viewing screen is 14 3/4 inches across by 11 3/4 height (not including the frame, actual viewing portion). Not sure if that matters but I see some posts above that wondered if size has something to do with it.

Using IE, only seeing the home button. I get the jumbled labels, too, if I hover over it.
I'm glad you mentioned this, because I used to be able to see the whole bar. It's only in the past couple of weeks that I can only get the home button...haven't changed anything on my end...
By April, At September 30, 2010 at 3:54 PM
I use IE and all I see is the home tab.

I'm on IE and I am not seeing the menu. How odd.
By Anonymous, At September 30, 2010 at 4:11 PM
I'm using IE on Windows 7 and I see all the links on the blue strip. Not sure which version of IE I have but I update often so it's whatever is the latest. :)
By 247mama, At September 30, 2010 at 6:49 PM
We use IE. 'About' is missing and 'Mt other sites' read as 'other sites'...but I suspect that's what you shortened. LOVE YOUR BLOG!

This is interesting. I use IE, not sure what version, but I've always had the full toolbar there.
By Dottie, At September 30, 2010 at 7:17 PM
IE does weird things to blog layouts. I always check mine there to see what it looks like when I make changes. I use Google Chrome and I see it all just fine.
By Alisa, At September 30, 2010 at 8:36 PM
Just to clarify - I still see the full toolbar and always have.

Using 22" monitor. Can see full toolbar using Firefox (my default), Safari, & Chrome but only HOME button on IE.
I noticed certain features are not visible or functional on my blog also when I use IE.
By Kendra, At September 30, 2010 at 9:40 PM
I use IE and see your complete menu bar. These answers are very interesting.

Very odd! I use FF, but just opened IE to check it and it looked fine. Strange!
By Jenny, At October 1, 2010 at 12:18 AM
I use IE and for quite awhile could only see the home button (and everything else was jumbled underneath as other have said). When we switched to faster internet service, I could see the entire menu bar. I'm not sure why that made the difference for me?? Thanks for all your posts! They are a huge help in my homeschool planning!

By Denise Klop, At October 1, 2010 at 11:14 PM
Yes, I use Internet Explorer and I see the blue bar and the drop downs... when I place my mouse on one of the menu items, it turns green and a drop down pops up that is in light blue.
