So, as you may know I have been launching a new site lately called The Mac Coach. This site was designed to help new mac users get going with their macs and help older users gain a deeper understanding of the software they already use. It officially launched a few days ago, and I was really excited. Well something I quickly noticed was that my site doesn’t seem to be compatible with Internet Explorer. In most cases this would be a bummer, as IE holds a large majority of browser usage demographics. However since my site was pretty much designed with Mac users 100% in mind, the IE market is rather miniscule.

Since IE was butchering the design of my beautiful website, I decided to simply add some code so that when an IE users logs onto The Mac Coach, they will be redirected to another page that informs them of incompatibilities and recommends that they install another browser. I feel that I can handle my own when it comes to HTML and coding, when i get the proper help. So I scoured the web for some hints. Unfortunately all that i found were some hit or miss sites that only partially explained it. My purpose today is to pass the knowledge that I gained onto my readers, so that it will be easier for the next guy to do this.
