Just going to be making a few changes today to make the site faster and generally better. Don’t worry if you see something broken today, chances are I’m just working on it.

*Update*
Updates are complete, thanks for bearing with me while I got them done.

I made some changes to the structural markup so that the sidebar is more flexible and will expand with added markup. I also reduced the amount of absolute positioning applied to individual elements to allow for fasting loading speeds.

Some good changes made there, Garr. But if you wanted faster loading speeds I’d advise changing your images from jpeg files :)

The ultimate in load times would be achieved by just removing everything and placing a blank index.html, brahahah!

Good job Chris, don’t forget your other commitment for today :) I’m not at home or I would b.s. with you –

“smallest in file size for the quality”? How does a 13kb, 14 by 45px image count as small?
But nevermind, I’m sure that I’m obvously missing some greater meaning here.
