I took a break on Saturday to help my brother move some furniture around for Mom. Other than that, I was immersed in code.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/steve.ganz.name\/p\/before\/\">before<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/steve.ganz.name\/p\/\">after<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not a bad start. Using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.websiteoptimization.com\/\">WebSiteOptimization.com<\/a> to compare the two versions side-by-side, you can see that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.websiteoptimization.com\/services\/analyze\/wso.php?url=https:\/\/steve.ganz.name\/p\/\">total size of the optimized version (44 KB)<\/a> is around 30% of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.websiteoptimization.com\/services\/analyze\/wso.php?url=https:\/\/steve.ganz.name\/p\/before\/\">the original (120 KB)<\/a>. The mark-up alone has been cut from 37 KB down to 9 KB. The CSS from 63 KB to 9 KB.<\/p>\n<p>Ahhh&#8230;.that feels good. Just put one foot in front of the other. With a little luck and a lotta faith, this thing  (either in part or in whole)  may see the light of day sometime before the end of the year. Until then, there is much to do. I want the layout to be flexible of course, so a strategy will need to be developed that allows for that, and at the same time ensures visual consistency with the legacy content. And I still think we can squeeze some more bytes out of this thing. Oh yeah&#8230;.it looks great on the phone.<\/p>\n<h4>Update:<\/h4>\n<p>Just fixed some positioning issues with the tab set in Safari 1.3, Netscape 6.2 and Firefox 1.5b. We&#8217;re good to go except for Mac IE 5.2 and again, just some positioning issues with the tab set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer\">Disclaimer: While I am an eBay employee, these opinions are my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My plan was simply to work on the primary navigation tab set.
