User blog:RAN1/Code Blog

Or possibly Blog:Code. Who knows?

My first blog here is going to be about what updates I've brought to the sight so that people get a clearer idea of what the hell(?) am I doing here. Essentially, this'll be your rich text diff page for those of you who do not want to read my not-so-pretty code changing. Though most of this stuff will be minor, some more important things will probably appear here, so read this occasionally to see what's going on code-wise.

Occasionally, I'll reference the ever-so-ubiquitious hard refresh manual, which is, ahem, your guide to everything hard-refreshing! *Cough, cough!* Moving on…

 * 1) Well, the Main Page has a very new look. Namely, some popular content links have been added, and they're stuffed on one side so that ads don't mess up the formatting. Also, I've gotten rid of the Contents section, as redundancy is redundant. For those of you who still want to access categories that way, the Monaco sidebar's Navigation fly-out menu has all of our old categories, and then some. Since they're easier to access, it makes it easier for the newer users to navigate. I doubt those of you using Monobook use that, so I suppose you're okay with this change.
 * 2) Part 2 of main page content changes: The new MOM trailer's been moved up with the timer, making the box look bloated. I suppose the fact that you can see the trailer up-front is easier on the universe that consists only of Wikitroid, so I'll leave it like that. Also, the Helping out section has been moved to the right
 * 3) The main page has less code involved in the boxes. Credits to Greenpickle: The fact that you created such a class allowed me to put some code into the Monaco CSS file and reduce the coding in the Monobook CSS file. I'll try to see if I've got any more neat tricks up my sleeve to make the fact that the Monaco is dark and Monobook is light does not get in the way of you guys who wish to go the Wikipedia way.
