    I checked in IE8 and the site is broken. Many of the functions don’t work. Sadly, some of the viewers will be using IE8 instead of Firefox or Chrome. Is there any quick clean solution to this? Is it best to make a separate stylesheet for IE8?

    Thanks for sharing this awesome theme. I choose this theme cause it’s attention grabber and creativity all rolled into one. It is perfect for professional writer portfolio (with little bit tweaking).

    Thanks for the kind words 🙂

    We made a conscious decision not to support IE8 in order to provide a faster, more responsive experience for more modern browsers.

    Making the site work well in IE8 will take a bit of customization, but I can point you in the right direction. First, you’d want to put your changes in a Tracks child theme (download link). Loading Modernizr on the site would allow the HTML5 markup to work which would immediately fix most layout issues. Then, you could copy the header.php file into the child theme and add a conditional check for IE8. This would allow you to add an “ie8” class to the “html” element so you can add styles specifically for IE8.
