I just relaunched a site that’s been under my care for a couple of months now. The Newted Community is a gathering place and information resource specifically aimed at users of Apple’s abandoned Newton platform. The whole site came preloaded on a Cobalt Cube2 that I purchased from the previous admin, who unfortunately had lost access to his free hosting. Now, while safely plunked in my basement, I had time to evaluate how the beast was put together, brush up on my Linux skills, stumble through a few Apache config files, and generally tidy the place up a bit. The result is a spiffy new standards compliant, style sheet-based site that loads about two hundred percent faster and eliminated the need for low bandwidth versions of the support pages for folks surfing via dial-up on their Newtons. Mr. Zeldman would be proud. Just for reference, here’s what the home page looked like before I took a sledgehammer to it. Now, if I could only get my butt moving and finish the redesign for this site.
