Nilesh.org Notes on technology and everything else

Presenting the all new nilesh.org/weblog. Or so… nothing much visible on the body. You need to do look under the bonnet. I have done a complete recoding of the weblog not only to lighten it up but also to add new features. Here are the new things on Nilesh’s Weblog -

1. No Tables – pure XHTML 1.0 and CSS based layout. Finally I managed to eliminate tables after many attempts. The purpose is to seperate design from content.
2. No GIFs – Again after several attempts to remove gifs and spacers from my site design, I have finally moved all my images to the more superior PNGs and JPEGs. Well, it’s a matter of a few more changes to remove all remaining traces.
3. Text Sizing – Now with the help of the buttons on the left side menu, you can increase the font size of the page text. That is if you have felt the need to using glasses to read this weblog. And your preferences get saved too. So you do not have to change font sizes again and again.
4. Print Styles – If you do a print preview of any page of the weblog, you’ll see that the distracting banner and menu disappear and what you get to print is pure content.
5. Clean Degradation – Older browsers which used to see jumbled up text will no longer see that way. But then, they won’t see any style also. I have hidden the design from 4.x browsers.

Now that I have finished one task of my big list of new-year things-to-do, you probably won’t have to wait longer for the next one. No, it’s got nothing to do with hum*blog.
