I don’t use a lot of JavaScript, but as you probably know, I’m a fan of offloading things to other people when it can save me the hassle of doing it myself.

Narga v6.5 Redesigned

Happy new year! 2010 and I’m back after website redesigned

I’ve rolled out a new design for Narga since yesterday evening. You may have noticed that I haven’t updated the blog for last months now. This is first post of this year to let you know that I’m back.

What happened?

I’m not going to lie to you, the main reason I stopped creating tutorials, themes and plugins is because I wasn’t very motivated and didn’t have much time either. The last redesign was one years ago, used table layouts, a lot of image files, and as a result was really sluggish. It’s definitely not good when your site takes almost ten seconds to load and you’re marketing speedy web hosting.
