New-ness
Just a heads up that I’ve changed to a new web host, and so there might be some teething issues as things get migrated over.
It’s now on a US-based server and that means a whopping amount of bandwidth (3 TB per month, up from 6 GB) as well as a generous amount of disk space (300 GB, up from 1 GB). Oh, and it’s also half the price of my old one, which is always good…
Mmmm… off-site storage with backup — time for a bit of rsyncing.
Anyway, as it is plainly obvious, this blog is also sporting a new look. Joyce said she felt the previous look was kinda dark and pretty plain. Now, it’s bright and pretty plain. I happen to like simple layouts — less clutter and the focus is on content as opposed to eye-candy. What do you readers think of the new look? Drop a comment below.
Also, in upgrading Wordpress, there’s been some issues with UTF-8 encoded characters (something to do with the new Wordpress database format) and hence my old posts that contain Chinese characters in it are somewhat corrupted. There was a script to fix things, but it looks like it didn’t fix all of them.
Bah.
what’s eye-candy?
Yep, this is plain, you should get like a soft-coloured bachground..not just white.. i don’t know.. it’s too plain.
Anywhoo, i’ll be waiting for the musical analysis.
Can I make a nerdy request and ask that some
mod_rewritecode be placed on droiby.net so that all existing URLs will redirect here?This is to prevent any linkrot associated with the upgrade.
That’s a good suggestion. Done.
