New Layout

Posted by on Jul 20, 2009 in General | 0 comments

Well I have been considering getting a new layout online for LM-BLOG for about a month now so finally its done.

I spent probably a quarter of my expected time looking for this layout and when I found it, instantly installed it as I knew it was exactly what I had wanted for the site.

The theme also has the benifit of being much lighter on the bandwidth and CPU so it is much quicker for my users to view.

I hope you all like it and I am open for thoughts and ideas. Also if you know of a theme you think I should use then please link to it via a comment and I will check it out :)

What is it ?

Overselling is where a host offers something but you will not infact ever manage to get that or anything near that. The most common oversell is data storage or bandwidth. If you look at bandwidth oversells you will see something like “10000 GB transfer on a 10mbps network”.

This looks as though you can transfer up to 10 mb every second for up to a total of 10000 GB each month. However what they will not tell you is that the 10 mb will be shared and you will only get full access to it at off peak times.
