It seems to me that all I seem to be doing these days is just re-designing my website instead of adding some content. I still have a couple of tutorial series to finish writing and I am nowhere near actually starting on any of them.

Anyway where are my manners!? First of all, Happy New Year to you all... I trust you all enjoyed your holidays.

Back to the subject at hand.... ah yes, Grafik Kaos has undergone another design change. Only implemented my last one in August but I promise, this will be the last design change I will be making in a good while. All that CSS workout has really done my head in. There are still a few things that I need to add and change on this design, so we shall call it a work in progress.

About some of the changes. Following the advice of a good friend, I have reduced the usage of Spry to cut down on the number of HTTP requests. On top of that, considering that my stats showed that Grafik Kaos was visited through mobile devices, I thought I'd make it easier for users to actually get to the content they need to get to. Not all mobile browers work effectively with Spry. Secondly, I actually thought I'd try my hand at actually using CSS to slice my images. The main navigation as well as several headers were there result of using CSS to slice the images (i.e. image sprites). This took me a good bit to get used to and to understand properly. But now that I have done it, there won't be any going back to the old ways of doing things and that was exporting every image individually. I am done with that!!

As a New Year's resolution, I have promised myself to finish up the articles I should have finished a long time ago. I have had a few emails regarding them and I promise they will be finished and put up in the next few weeks.

Feel free to leave me comments about my new design and layout, bearing in mind that this is still an ongoing design work.
