Welcome to the new buzzert.zanneth.com v3.0.

Version 3.0 is a major update. buzzert.zanneth.com v1.0 is about two years old, and my web design skills have changed and improved greatly since then. Quite honestly, I was just a n00b when I began designing v1.0; however, my Photoshop skills were already quite developed. This is why the website looked okay, but the code was a complete mess. A few months ago, I released v2.0, which wasn’t quite different, it was just a face-lift before I began designing 3.0. So should this be called 2.0 and should 2.0 be called 1.5? I think so, but to save confusion, I’m just going to call it 3.0. Here’s why I needed to do a major overhaul:

• It was too hard to make new site blog entries, and it looked pretty awful.
» v3.0 features a blog powered by WordPress, which I can easily update.
• There were a lot of mistakes that were hard to fix, so I didn’t.
» A complete overhaul of the website guarantees the scrubbing of legacy html files for mistakes, including typo.
• The code was a mess.
» I coded my own, neat CSS file now. v1.0 and v2.0 did not have CSS.
• There were huge images, making the page load slowly.
» v3.0 includes images mostly in jpg format, not png, and the buttons are no longer image files, but good ol’ CSS beauty, as well as the rest of the page.
• DIV LAYERS STINK
» Version 1 and 2 had DIV layers, which are the lazy man’s web designing tools. DIV layers essentially allow you to put things wherever you want, without the worry of knowing how to code it. v3.0 is written from the ground up excluding those nasty DIV layers and just plain, beautiful CSS.
• Media and Wallpaper
» The Media and Wallpaper sections are now much cleaner, and easier to navigate, as well as the ability to comment on them. The latest image is now on the top of the page, rather than the bottom.

This website is coded (except for the blogging software) and designed from the ground up by me, it took me a total of three days to complete, and it looks dang good in my opinion, very “Web 2.0“. Leave a comment here (couldn’t do that before!) telling me what you think of the new design.

And I kept the shoutbox, so you can still do shout-outs.

Ciao!
