Manyana I'm going to have to create the wireframes for the new school website. I decided to be trendy, I went for HTML5 and a fluid layout to be mobile/tablet friendly. I quickly ran into problems.

Once upon a time I was good at developing web sites, I'm the equivalent of an idiot now. I'd forgotten a basic—every browser is shite.

Basic stuff doesn't work everywhere, CSS3 support seems to be deliberately patchy, mobiles are just a mess. However low you aim some browser will choke, and will probably choke in a different fashion tomorrow.

Once upon a time I could serve well-formed XML to IE6. I'm no longer that boy. I thought that we might have moved on, I've found that I'm struggling out of a different mire.

Still a mire.
