OK, firstly, i must say that this is the most extensive renovation i've done to date, cutting away massive amounts of codes.
so much so that as of the time im typing this report, the renovation is not done.
but nevertheless, i'll just tell u guys what to expect, since i have no surprises.
-much smaller amounts of bits and bytes to download. I removed tons of redundant codes, spaces, and lines. entire sections which used to be significant (but are no longer needed) have disappeared as well. So now, the site should be 40kb, excluding the BG. (previous codes were slightly larger, at 46kb being the lowest so far.
-a higher compression, colour washout and a few tweaks on the background (should have arrived by the time u read this) is going to plummet the download size of my blog. from 144kb, to the new 60kb! not only is that a 58.3% decrease in size, but also, the new background is a great match with the current colour scheme!
-notice the minor cosmetic changes here and there? e.g.: titles are towards the right, the chatbox has a nice fit, the menu bar is shifted to the bottom, the links on the menu bar have different names. Links have "|" instead of "/" to match the overall theme.
-Archive works now. It works like the links, and it's organized by years as well. so have fun searching the past. I removed a certain month (July 2005) because that was me announcing the death of this blog... not true anymore! So, now that we have an archive, here's a tutorial on the archive: when you click any month, you will notice that you ar redirected to the frontpage. just go on to the blog section. that's all. the other parts of the blog remain the same, however. so don't eve think of searching what the tagboard looked like 2 months ago. there's a different way to do that.
-and with all of the above, you get a better experience and faster load time on a great blog!
