New HTML5 Template for MODX blog

I have just converted this template http://jayj.dk/ for possible inclusion in the MODX Extras section

I have a working demo at http://blog.allanb.za.net/

I would like to know what the community thinks should be in the sidebar and any other changes that would be better for a MODX Blog template

Your demo’s layout is broken on my FF/Mac. Everything is displayed in a row, one beneath the other, including the sidebar.

Thanks Susan I have tested in FF on Linux and Chrome

I have no access to a Mac.

Anyone know any differences

What version of FF Susan, I’m on the latest and all looks good here on my Mac

Sidebar, search and widget blocks are supposed to be under the rest? Menu is OK.

Version 3.06.17 on OS X 10.5.8

Here is a screen capture of my site as I see it.

Firefox 3.0X is an very(!) outdated version. This won’t support most of HTML5,CSS3 features. It is highly recommended to upgrade to Firefox 4.X or another browser like Google Chrome / Opera / Safari 5 to get better web-experience.
In 3.X many websites would be displayed broken or incorrect.

If Susan’s on 3.* that’ll be for a reason. In my view FF4 on a Mac is a significantly worse browser than 3.* but I can’t be arsed to downgrade.

In any case, FF3.6 and below still accounts for 10% of the browser market in the last survey I could be bothered to look up (Feb 2011 - http://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?spider=1&qprid=2). Which rather worryingly, is the same as IE6.

Ok. I looked up another non-techie survey, and it had FF3.5+6 at over 25% of the market, and IE6 at 5%. http://www.evoluted.net/thinktank/web-development/browser-market-shares-2011

Which makes me want to cry a little.

We’re not talking ’bout FF3.6 but 3.0.x here I think. Still FF4 is way better (Mac + Win) than 3.x even there are actually better browsers on the market for now.

Lets not turn this post into a browser war zone.

I did the dev work on Ubuntu 10.04 using Chrome 11. (Chrome seems faster with Revo). I checked with FF 3.6.17 both produced the same results.

The template is supposed to be HTML5

I AM REALLY LOOKING for IDEAS TO IMPROVE THIS TEMPLATE FOR THE USE OF THE COMMUNITY

It is stated that there are no templates and basic setup’s for a BLOG with MODX

I am trying to fulfill that need with your help. (I am no designer)
