No more tables!
I got a comment that my website didn’t load up within 30 seconds. This is a big deal - because blog explosion requires my site to load within that time period. I did some research and used my HTML, CSS, and Javascript skills. The trick was to get rid of the tables.
I took out some unnecessary images / scripts from 3rd party sites. The virtual pet script / flash animation was removed. Instead of using the Altavista script to translate my web page into other languages, I just made some text links to googles translation service.
You may also notice that I now have two sidebars instead of one. Hopefully that makes it easier to find stuff without scrolling.
I hope you enjoy the new layout.

I find MSN Spaces really heavy loading, as all the rest of MSN services by the way. I hope not many people uses this host as their blog hosting at least until they improve it’s speed.
