Major Website Update
Quoted: "No government ever created can protect a gullible citizen; the one that is legitimate has not the power; the one that has the power has not the inclination." -- Skreyola
Explanations: I made a major update to my website yesterday. It involved changes to 44 files. You should check out the Index page if you want to see the changes to the structure. If you only want to check out the new content, you should visit the News page and visit the pages mentioned there.
A large part of the update was a shift from a table-based layout to a CSS-P-based layout. I thought using CSS instead of TABLEs was supposed to save bandwidth... but my site went from 3,533,530 bytes to 3,546,534 bytes, so I guess CSS may be good for many things, but not for saving bandwidth... though I will admit to not having optimized the code *shrug*. I think it's just a fact that CSS-positioning isn't as elegant, codewise, as a simple two-cell table for the purpose of making a sidebar appear on the left side of the page. But, anyway... I've updated my website. Also in fairness, I did add some content to the site, which I'd forgotten in my size calculations. I guess I could go back, delete the new content, and compare them, but I don't feel the need. I did do a comparison with just the index page, and the CSS version was larger, so I don't think it would change the outcome, unless I optimized the code, which I don't think I will do, given the amount of "free" time I have... or rather don't.
More explanations later...
