Quick post: Death to IE6
You know, Internet Explorer 6, that old piece of shit browser that some people still use? The browser that’s always a pain in the ass when you’ve finished your design, to find out it doesn’t work in IE6? Yes, That one. We’re going to kill it. Join the IE6 DeathMarch and show you’re done with IE6.
Why should we still design around IE6 when there’s a bog load of alternatives? IE7 and IE8 are up for download, Firefox is better, and Chrome is faster and Safari is cross platform. Unless you charge your client extra for working around IE6, it’s just costing us, as designers, money.
So: Join the DeathMarch and start creating conditionals for IE6 telling people to upgrade their browser!

I’ve really been thinking hard on this one. I just can’t make up my mind. I’d love for IE6 to be dead. I think I’m just going to start charging extra for support of IE6.
