I hadn't noticed this until several people complained that they couldn't see my website.. it appears that I had set up the link on the front page in such a way that the Internet explorer did perceive it as a link. So those of you who were using the IE were left to stare at that dog head.
Now while I've fixed it and the site is now accessible from all browsers I'd just like to mention how you should stop using the Internet Explorer immediately if you haven't already. It's just a big bug in all respects.. And my website does not look as it is intended to look when viewed through this abysmal browser.
