Some Template Editing

After the media control stuff had been added to the sidebar on the right, I've been trying to edit the template code of this blog site a little bit, in a hope to probably get a refreshing face of it. But eventually I ended up with only some fonts and displaying pictures being replaced, simply because after scrutinizing the codes, I found out that the original template was very well written and designed, all the efforts trying to better it seem to turn out to be unprofessional. Moreover, were I to change the whole template to another one provided, I'd have to copy and edit the customized codes to the new one to fit them in, that's just too much trivia to do. Anyway, as this TicTac theme is still my favourite, why not keep it but bother changing it back and forth?

What I mean by saying the code is finely written is that, even to people like me who neither have the strong will to be a professional web designer nor have ever read through any single geeks' thick book of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, XML and so on in their life, the code is still decipherable and making sense, and most importantly, still be able to generate nice pages. At least when I was reading each piece of the codes of this template, they are quite clear to me and I knew what each line there is doing and what the parameters there are for. We then make a comparison by attempting to read some codes from Microsoft, their MSN web pages, a simple blank page created by MS Office tools, or whatever you think has something to do Microsoft, they are merely as messy as hell. This is a very ancient finding but it remains the same all the time. Unless you are the very hard-working engineer employee of Microsoft or have some other tool that can auto paragraph the codes to help you to understand them, the codes are the extraterrestrial symbols beyond mere mortals. Even each newsletter email sent by Microsoft seemingly has some hash values and lots of messy bits and pieces everywhere, on the place where the user name before the @microsoft.com is supposed to be a much shorter one even for security concerns, at the ending PGP signing part, etc. One thing I still don't understand is why they send me their public PGP blocks, is it to decipher the digital signed messages or just to show me the mess? But where are the encrypted messages out of the plain text they sent to me?

This might be even not worth mentioning, that is, as long as the codes are doing their jobs in your computer and result in the wanted effects, who cares about the codes are messy or what? However, quite obviously, this trifle which ostensibly has nothing to do with anything important would convey sub-consciousness to many users that the biggest company in the world doesn't actually care about many other things under his whilom and ongoing monopoly, since the day one they established that. And the ultimate company culture of theirs is exclusively to keep the monopoly and of course keep earning as much money as possible. This could also be one of the many reasons why many people are now particularly fond of Apple's Mac PCs, and some are still hoping someday the disconfirmed rumor about Google's hundred-buck PC with its own OS will come true, because they know, also as a matter of fact from today's perspectives, they will get much more user-friendly, well-organized, much cleaner and cuter products, and even with much superior customer services and interface.
