More changes

Over the past few days, I’ve developed a few more ideas for Geekie.org that are being implemented. In addition to the obvious switch in wallpaper — from now on I’ll be swapping the background every once in a while — I’m also experimenting with fonts.

A user using the default theme on our web site can click on “Opt in to the Arial font beta” beneath the header title. Doing so will reload the page, and create a session variable that will show you the Arial design for as long as your session lasts. I didn’t use cookies for this particular feature, but it is a possibility. You can click to opt out if you don’t like it.

The Arial font beta will make most text a bit smaller. This usually isn’t a problem, but if it is for you, drop us a line (leave a comment) and let me know. Remember, you can always switch back.

I’ve also decided to start optimizing the site’s CSS and JavaScript files for efficiency. In the past, the site loaded way too slowly — even on a fast connection — but with the implementation of compression, and optimization, we should be getting better.
