I have brought forward the launch of lesterchan.net a few days in advanced as I may not be free on the 9th June 2008 which is the original intended date of launch.

After more than 4 years of using the same layout, the old layout (version 2.0) has been finally replaced with this newer (version 3.0) layout. I think some of you may find this layout a little dull as compared to the previous layout because of the colors used. I am trying to come out with a variety of color schemes if possible because of the colors are controlled by CSS, the only limitation is choose the color. Do note that I am not a designer but a programmer. Most programmers are poor designers and most designers are poor programmers.

Changelog

Todo

  • Add Playlist Page
  • Add sitemap.xml
  • Update favico.ico

Feel free to browse through the whole site if you have not been doing so for a very long time as most of the pages has been updated.

All the old URLs should be redirected properly to the new URLs, I have spent quite a lot of effort to ensure that.

You can report bugs in the comments =)

    Wonderful Lester! Just a bug report on the comment text fields, it seems to be squashed, like there’s no space for Website: so it goes under haphazardly. See http://skitch.com/kevin/c9y6/lesterchan.net-version-3.0-blog-lesterchan.net

    Hi Lester, I used docking boxes 2 years ago but now discarded it. Btw, under Safari, when I try to drag the boxes around, the whole page goes blank. Maybe its DBX problems.

  • http://lesterchan.net/ Lester Chan

    @ltantic: I have trial run the upgrading process for at least 5 times lol
    @Denis, @ON: Yea, the common problem is the wording is a little small, but if I make it bigger, it will spoil the layout. The font size is the same as previous layout
    @Zz85: You have any other alternatives? I have been waiting for dbx 3.0 for a year and it is still not out. It is still in alpha. The jQuery WP one is using is super buggy. I have not tested the site on Mac as I can’t get hold of one within my friends/family

    yea no more Ihatespam textbox.

    Your trademark for your site will always be the nice clean layout with very few images ah…

    Is there a complication for having /blogs/ to /blogs/ ?

  • http://lesterchan.net/ Lester Chan

    @Shaun: Yea, I like clean, small and sleek. Minimalistic. For v3, WP now lives in my root directory, before there it is living in /blogs/ directory. I just add a /blog/ in front of my permalink settings in WP-Admin -> Settings -> Permalink
