In my previous entry I proudly stated this site is coded not to show the Glider when there are no Javascript capabilities (by simply adding a display:none to a class, embedded in <noscript></noscript>). Nice! But still: even when not displayed all images are called, so there will be al lot of unnecessary ...

By Thur on 1 Mar 2009 | Tagged: | No Response.
Two months 'on the run' and thus far 4 people responded here. That's a good thing. Paula and Ryan came looking for some old Blogger Templates. That is, of course, pretty okay too.
