In the next hour, I’ll be updating the blog design, so if you see something strange, it really is because I am doing something strange. I hope the layout would go well.
I did quite a rush job, especially in getting random categories and latest comments. I didn’t use a plugin and instead just code a couple of functions to grab random categories and stuff. It’s bad for maintenance and I’m kinda scared that things would break.
Also ridding most of the plugins. The new blog design would be a lot simpler and should load therefore load faster. I tested it on Firefox 2, Opera 9, Safari 3, and Internet Explorer 7. Internet Explorer seems to have a rendering bug that I couldn’t fix and I don’t really want to do CSS hacks. It’s rather minor anyway, so I’ll just wait till Internet Explorer 8 comes out.
And meanwhile, great news for spammers, you can happily spam me while I’m doing site testings.

wow , it’s very modern looking.
I’m so far behind now lol
Actually, I kind of fell into the habit of writing stuff offline and not publishing it. I really don’t like using textpattern anymore - when I get time, I’ll probably switch to wordpress too
by pketh (Dec 23, 2007 at 9 AM)I kinda support your switch to WordPress. Textpattern seemed quite inactive these.
There’re still many tiny little flaws in the design that I am lazy to fix up. When I’m free I’ll get all those fixed!
by Mr. Dew (Dec 24, 2007 at 3 AM)man, the year indicator got rid off too…
by Nafcom (Dec 26, 2007 at 1 PM)anyway, you have got mail…
Which year indicator are you referring to? Anyway, the tags and monthly achives are still around. And the links are still around too.
Unfortunately things are a little messy there a couple of days back so I didn’t link up those pages. Check your email for more details.
by Mr. Dew (Dec 26, 2007 at 9 PM)@Mr Dew: I mean when I see a couple of entries, there is no year number next to the entry on the right handed side (tested in Opera 9.5 and Safari 3.4)
by Nafcom (Dec 26, 2007 at 9 PM)I think it’s ok; looks similar to pketh’s design actually. The other one was good, but it was time for a change. Also, is there a way to preview comments before posting them?
