			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the none of you that frequent this blog, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve noticed the change to the design.  For some reason, Wordpress themes felt so foreign to me.  But I wasn&#8217;t feeling the one I had before.  So I decided to take a crack at building a theme that incorporated the look of qrisper.  Wasn&#8217;t too bad&#8230;just had to navigate through all of the Wordpress PHP.      Actually learned a couple of things about managing browser discrepancies by looking at how theme developers dealt with them.</p>
<p>Which brings me to IE7.  At some point, qrisper got totally broken on IE7.  Ended up using the * hack in my CSS files, which now won&#8217;t validate.  To that I say fuggem.  Rules are meant to be broken.</p>
<p>The development theme for the past week was spring cleaning.  I consolidated a number of pages, modularized my CSS (as much as I could), cleaned up and moved all my js files to the footer and tidied up all of my control/view files after the redesign.  qrisper just feels lighter to me now, although there wasn&#8217;t any noticeable improvement in performance.</p>
<p>A couple of new/updated pages:</p>
<ul>
<li>created a personalized 404 page&#8230;heard it&#8217;s a good thing to have</li>
<li>redid the splash page screenshots after the layout redesign&#8230;but need to redo them yet again</li>
<li>added Disqus comments to all answer pages.  I had comments in the pre-alpha version of qrisper but took them out because of poor site.  Still kinda slow but the ability to sign in via Facebook Connect was irresistable.  Too bad that ain&#8217;t working&#8230;can&#8217;t figure out what I&#8217;m doing wrong</li>
<li>Tweaked my existing autocomplete functionality&#8230;basically made it look nicer.  Only thing missing now is to add keyboard navigation functionality.</li>
</ul>
<p>Next up on my list is security and validation.  I&#8217;m already using sanitize classes to filter out all user input but I want to add additional layers of security.  Also want to incorporate jquery into the validation process so that users have a clear sense of what&#8217;s going on.</p>
