Very often, we will try to look for great themes for our blogs and maybe do some customization to fit our taste. Or if you are a web designer, you will start designing your own theme from scratch. During customization of your blog theme, you have to consider a question: Is my blog browser compatible?
You may be developing your blog theme in Mozilla Firefox browser running in Ubuntu Linux. But your visitors may be viewing your blog in Internet Explorer or Safari on different Operating System. Your blog may look pretty good in your development platform but it may turn out to be “distorted” in other browsers, which makes your blog not browser compatible.

We only have 24 hours a day, which we need to spend time on our daily routines, accompanying our family members, as well as reading blogs or blogging. We wouldn’t want to waste extra time by checking updates from our favorite blogs one by one - the so called “blog hopping“.
Some people may argue that they prefer blog hopping, visiting their favorite blogs one by one just to check for updates. Some claim that if there isn’t any updates, they will still leave a message in the chat box. The real intention behind the message usually indicate the owner something like “Oh! Hi there, I was here before and hope you can hop over to my blog too.” I used to do that too for a short period of time. It did boost up some traffic. In fact, that’s what most blog hoppers really want. They may not even read your blog content but just leave a “hi hi” message and hoping that you will head back to them. Most of the time, it works.
