So I was working on a new design for one of my sites, and here comes this problem with IE where a div I was floating to the right of another div was just not where it was supposed to be. It seems IE would double the right side margin value I had entered and float it that much further over than I wanted (i.e., if I put 25px, it made it 50px). A quick search in Google solved that problem. For the floating div, I just need to add display: inline and it will stop doubling the margin value in Internet Explorer. IE, so weird. Go Firefox!
Recently, I came across some information about several "Mental Science" authors from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, one of which was Genevieve Behrend. It seems she had a popular book entitled, Your Invisible Power, in which she explained the core teachings of her mentor, Thomas Troward, whom is cited by many as being the father of modern mental science. Never missing an opportunity to see the idea of Intention being explained by another source, I picked up Genevieve's book and, sure enough, there it was again: the idea that we attract to us the details of our lives through the use of our thoughts.
For most of my sites, I stick to using shared hosting accounts, since they are very affordable and provide me with everything I need to run a normal site. I've also rented low cost dedicated servers from a handful of providers for my traffic / database intensive websites, but they give me far more resources than I could ever use (even with several websites on the same server). You really only need a dedicated server if you plan on hosting a whole bunch of websites (hundreds of even a couple thousand) or resource hog programs that I certainly don't need or use.
I recently tried a VPS account from Spry (www.spry.com) and, so far, I think its great. Virtual Private Servers (VPS) accounts are the perfect mid-level hosting solution, giving you the same power, stability and control you want from a dedicated box, but at a much lower price ($30 to $40 per month is a good price). Full root access, several sites up on the one account, multiple IP addresses, and plenty of room to grow. We'll see how good Spry is over the long run. Of course, this account uses Cpanel/WHM, my favorite, :)
