the masses have spoken so i fixed the store page to look somewhat acceptable in internet explorer. for some reason, you can't apply styles to table cells using css in internet explorer. i'll have to experiment more to figure out what is really going on, but in any case, it looks a little less sucky with internet explorer now. (it still needs work overall, but at least its not just a bunch of text floating in an open sea of whitespace.)

i figured out what was wrong with the store page. i was using <link rel="stylesheet" src="/style.css" type="text/css"> instead of <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css">. for some reason netscape handles both forms. this also means that the news page should look okay to internet explorer users now.

i did a little upgrade for the la times scraping, which had problems with the commentary page (and probably others). since they basically only update once a day, i need to come up with a clever solution to streaming their news into my news page, since it tends to result in an overwhelming amount of news in the morning, and i'm probably missing interesting stuff.
