Today my first WordPress plugin was published at the official WordPress plugin site and it is now available for download. This plugin simply replaces your site’s contents with a message asking visitors to use a better browser if they use Internet Explorer 7 or earlier.
Every web designer knows how annoying it is to deal with internet explorer issues, and how the use of Microsoft’s browsers hinders innovation. But not just that, offering support for IE6 and IE7 normally means a lot of unnecessary extra work and holding back from modern design techniques and technologies (CSS3, png transparency, round corners, HTML5, …).
I have installed the plugin in this site, so now I can stop worrying about Internet Explorer and leave it up to my visitors to use a decent browser.
