My intro at the top of my blog which describes how to get around was not being properly displayed in IE7. Nobody let me know. I found out when I saw a screen shot of my page in my BlogCatalog profile.
What went wrong?
I had the text set to justify. Justified text is a well known problem area among web developers. Some browsers just don't know what to do with it. I use Safari and Firefox on a Mac. The text had been rendered properly. Apparently IE decided to be the black sheep. Big surprise, I know. Anyway, I set the code in the table to align to the left and then used the p align="justify" instead. Justified text always looks cleaner assuming the browser handles it as intended.

Rain is hitting Shreveport all week in the form of thunderstorms, so I won't be posting many fishing reports. I've written rough drafts of my Gander Mountain Competitor rod post and Vicious Fishing Line Conditioner post. Each should be ready this week. I'll probably schedule them and let Blogger do the work for me. I also have rough drafts of the posts on Vicious Fluorocarbon and the Strike King Red Eye Shad.
I'm trying to think up another frog related post seeing as how topwater season is almost here for me and likely already coming to life for anglers in much warmer waters. Expect the Strike King buzzbait post to come along soon.

• Table of Contents Removed
It was a neat script and very useful from a navigation perspective, but not very practical, nor very popular. As the number of posts at my blog grows, so will the size of the TOC. The amount of information the script has to load will continue to increase.
I ran a poll a couple of months ago about whether or not people use the TOC. Not only does it appear that people avoid the TOC, but they also avoid participating in polls. I can observe visitor statistics in my Statcounter pageload log and for the most part, people just use the label list to find what they need. How do I know? Their visiting patterns follow results on label organized pages.
No point in having it if very few actually use it.

• Upcoming: Season Starts, Skirts Sticking, & Guide Series Rod
I just scheduled two posts for later this week.
The first is on the official start of the fishing season here in Louisiana. Although we really never stopped, March is when everything takes off. I have a love/hate relationship with this phenomenon, so have a read when the post gets published.
The second is on my solution for dealing with spinnerbait skirt strands that stick together. Line & Lure conditioner solved this problem.
Now I'm working on my Guide Series rod post. I thought I had a text file of notes, but for some reason, I can't find it now. Got to start from scratch.
I'll also try and get out a post which takes a look at the new Big Bite Baits Dean Rojans Fighting Frog plastic lure. Neat little bait.
