Unfortunately, they will probably look horrible in older browsers, like Netscape 4.x and IE 4.x. Moreover, many posts use MathML, which is, currently only supported in Mozilla. My best suggestion (and you will thank me when surfing an ever-increasing number of sites on the web which have been crafted to use the new standards) is to upgrade to the latest version of your browser. If that's not possible, consider moving to the Standards-compliant and open-source Mozilla browser.

I really like this idea and might drop in on one of the sessions just to see how it’s done, since it seems like the kind of thing my group could host in our own field.

Re: Homotopy Type Theory Electronic Seminar Talks

This post is causing a formatting catastrophe on the main page for me. The last line is separated from the rest by a whole scroll’s worth of blank space. I’m using iPad Safari now, but I think I saw the same thing using Firefox on my laptop.

Re: Homotopy Type Theory Electronic Seminar Talks

This post is unusual in that it has a “first part” but no “second part” - nothing that’s not visible from the main page. But I’m not encountering any weirdness on Firefox on my laptop. I removed one blank line at the end of the “first part” in case that was somehow causing you trouble.

Re: Homotopy Type Theory Electronic Seminar Talks

Looking at it more closely, I think it’s just caused by the itemized list (of one element) at the end peeking out over the sidebar. It should resolve itself after another post on the blog, so its probably not worth worrying about :)
