The code on Moe’s Realm had been a mess for a very long time. I built the template that the pages used a very long time ago and the web has moved on considerably since then. I have been meaning to update it for a long time but never found the time. After a friend of mine took a look at the code and made a not so nice comment I figured it was time to get off my butt and do something about. He also pointed me to this page which gives quite a few sample code snippets for navigation using CSS. The navigation was the big bloated part on Moe’s Realm so this was perfect for me.

Long story short. The combined total size of all the HTML pages on Moe’s Realm used to be 244 MB. After cleaning up the code and actually improving the look of the site in the process the total size of all the pages is now 48.5 MB, a fifth of the original size.

I also made a few other changes that the user will never notice but will make my life easier when it comes to updating the site and stuff.

Take a look at the new look and let me know what you think.
