My Facebook
Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting my blog. Some of you have noticed that I’ve changed my blog layout. Looking for a great layout is sort of hard for me. I’ve been favoring 3 columns design for some time, until recently I feel that I don’t really need a 3-column layout. This is because I’ve cut down a lot of “not-so-useful” widgets at my sidebar.
Of course, I am still not capable of designing a layout from scratch. So I found a nice 2 columns blog theme and start modifying it. I found it more comfortable to do all the modification work in my widescreen laptop, as there’s more space available than using my old box with 15″ CRT monitor.
When you pimp your blog, it is very important that it is compatible in other browsers other than the one that you use during development stage. I’m a Firefox fan, my blog will definitely look better in Firefox. During my first attempt (with most of the original code setting), the new layout looks great in Firefox but it totally looks bad in Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari (assuming Netscape and other browsers too). After modifying the codes and structures, I tried to make it compatible in Firefox and IE7. From my laptop, it looks good in both browsers, however, I bet the alignment is still ruined in other browsers other than Firefox.
Other than that, I have also successful upgraded this blog to Wordpress version 2.5. Like I said before, I still need some time to get use to the interface and the new features available. And this is my first post made in Wordpress 2.5. 
Conclusion, this blog is now best view in Firefox.

@Amei79,
Are you using Internet Explorer? I think it won’t look good in IE6. I tried to view my blog in IE version 7.0.5730.11 without any alignment problem. Well, I’ll try to figure out how to fix this prob, but not so soon. Anyone can help?
@3POINT8,
Hey thanks! You made me feel that all my hard work is worth it. ^_^
@joshuaun,
Thank you. Ya, it’s a little slow for the main content to load. The sidebar will load first.

@Shay,
Thank you ^^
@bongkersz,
Hi bongkersz, you can read a brief tutorial here. For the FTP client, I use Firefox extension known as FireFTP. I will be making another tutorial on installing FireFTP and the process of uploading the whole wordpress code to the host.
@ColourfulWorld,
Thank you. Oh? That’s kinda fast. It seems that I’ve missed out quite a lot of movie lately. The next movie that I’m going to watch is “L:Change the World”. I’ve been anticipating for it since last year.

Haha, good for you, that means more movies to share by you right? =p
