Wesley's Tool-Box

All entries from my old blog at Naver Blog service have been moved to here. There were 126 entries in total and since there was no exporting function each entries were moved one by one. It should fill a huge hole between the old Wesley's World era and the current Tool-Box era.

The Naver Blog entries were written in Korean. There are no immediate plans to translate them into English.

The old Wesley's World has been cleaned up and the pages redirect to here. The duplicate/no-longer-used image/data files have been deleted from the old site as well. Currently the only website running at the old site is Pyongyang Metro.

This is entirely my opinion on what I think is a good website design.

- Avoid Flash as much as possible
I sometimes come across websites that havethe menus or even the entire layout of the website based entirely on Macromedia Flash. But I seriously doubt if any of these cannot be done with a scripting language or DHTML. Also, Flash poses some limitations on what platform and computer speed it can be run on. One should not assume that a good-looking website can only be done with Flash.

The width adjustment problem affecting Mozilla-based browsers, which caused the entry page to widen and break the formatting, apparently still lingered around even after the last fix. So I did a more thorough analysis of the problem with the problematic browser (i.e. Firefox) and found that it does not readjust the width back as specified in CSS just because the comments area did not have a width set. The problem was corrected (or worked around, since other browsers don't have any problem) by giving the comments area a fixed width.

Oh, and the Toolbox theme used in this site is available at Additional Themes section of SourceForge CVS. The updated version (1.2) with the fix is now available.

The new router seems to work well. I had the connection tested by several people and they all seem to agree that the website is quite accessible.
