Apparently this is what my site looks like in Netscape 4 (click each image for a larger version).
I’m going to add some code to direct users of NN 4 (and other shitty browsers) to a version of the site with no stylesheet. But IE users (IE 5/Mac and IE 6/Win) will get a special treat - a (mostly) plaintext version with a nasty message at the top telling them to switch to a better browser.
Graceful degradation doesn’t have to be sugar-coated.

Netscape 4? Come on Amber, there’s a point where you have to drop support for older versions. If someone is using NN 4 on purpose, they deserve to have their Internet license revoked.
Trippy.
Well, I added some conditional stuff, so now NN4 doesn’t get any stylesheet at all. And MSIE users get a nasty message telling them to get a better browser. Hey, I wouldn’t want you to think I was falling asleep on the job here.
Looks good on my IE6/Win (work) and (of course) my Firefox1/Win (home).
