Woah? Two posts in one day? You bet.
I have just finished writing a little plugin for wordpress that gzips (compresses) all the pages that get sent to the browser. This should hopefully mean faster page loads. However, I’m not 100% confident in my ability to not make a mistake, which is why I’m making this entry.
I know some browsers don’t like gzipped pages, at all. If for some reason a page doesn’t load, or a stylesheet doesn’t render properly, please email me (cyberstorm240 at gmail dot com) or comment somewhere (hopefully here).
Edit: I have just tested my blog on Firefox 3.0.1, Safari 3.1.2, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8. Besides IE8, everything looks great. I’m not going to fix my blog for IE8. Ever. IE7 has a few weird quirks that I can’t fix because of it’s lack of support for proper CSS. I don’t have Opera installed on my work PC (or at home), so if someone could test it and make sure it works that would be cool.
Edit 2: I installed Opera on my work PC and my blog looks just as good as it does in Firefox. Sadly, I forgot to update my blog files at work and I reuploaded part of the template and lost a change I made last night (the search bar I put at the top is no longer there lawl!). I’ll go home and reupload it from there tonight.
