Justin Norvell (Sr. Marketing Manager, Electric Guitars) has joined the fray over on our Fender Front Row Blog this morning. His first post is admittedly a modest one, but I assure you that Justin has a veritable treasure trove of cool behind-the-scenes stories and information that he'll be sharing.

The thumbnail doesn't load in Safari on a Mac either.

Hi Brad - I think I found the problem. I used Firefox 2.0.0.11 to debug the issue. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro 2.16/3gb/160gb machine. I'm using Safari 3.0.4 (523.12.2).

The underlying problem is an error in the HTML :shock:

Using Firefox I loaded the URL http://www.fender.com/blog/ - I then used View Page Source to inspect the source of the page. Search for the string alt="saddles3.jpg" You will see a space followed by a slash in RED - this is the error. The RSS reader I'm using (NetNewsWire 3.1.1) and the version of Safari I'm using see this error and get "confused" and don't render the page correctly - Firefox does render it correctly. And it maybe that the Safari users that don't see the error are using the version that is in Mac OS X 10.5.

Hope this helps.

PS I used to do Internet/Web stuff in my previous life! :roll:

That's actually A-OK HTML syntax, though -- just an alternate way of closing off the img tag. In any case I'll see if I can find an older version of Safari and replicate the issue. Can you do me a favor and dump your browser's cache and then confirm that you're still having this problem?

That fixed it.

I also unscubscribed in NetNewsWire and resubscribed and it was correct there too. Just one of those things.

Thanks,
