Is it good? (I still love avahost--not free though).

It's a bit less stable than 000webhost since it's just a VPS, not a server network serving thousands of customers, but I've got CloudFlare and it's awesome. Saves bandwidth, speeds downloading, protects against downtimes and everything.[/ad]

Hmm interesting, is CloudFlare really reliable?

As far as I can tell, yep. It sends cached pages (WebArchive-style) when Juju's server has downtimes.

Ah that's good. But do they host the cached pages or something? I'm curious since normally when a server is down, it wouldn't even be able to send you cached pages. X.x

I am also worried that it actually keeps copies of your private data and stuff.

Oh yeah, it does. Whenever a browser tries to fetch something, CloudFlare downloads it from the server, stores a copy on their server, and sends it to the user. It doesn't actually get into the server scripts (all it sees is what any browser can see), so I'm guessing it's safe.

Did yet another complete redesign, and this time I think I finally got it right.

Some sections aren't completely fixed yet, including the Projects page, but the new version will look a lot like the new Tutorials and Resources galleries -- dynamic and JavaScript-free :D

With the big front page icons, you should anti-alias the edges as they currently look a bit pixelated. But otherwise it looks good, and especially very clean and well laid out.

I took out the antialiasing so each image would use only a two-bit palette :/ What browser are you using? It's not bad in Chrome, when the images are scaled down a bit and get antialiased by the browser.

Lol I thought that was on purpose, all in all it's not a terrible effect until you think about it :P
Maybe you could do that, just have it resize one or two pixels then bam :D

I'm using Firefox, and it looks the same in Chrome for me. To me, the edges are clearly jagged.

I only think it's a minor issue, and the icons still look nice like this. I just think changing it would add a tiny bit more polish.

Your project page is like a war.

Then your browser resolution is so big that it's not getting scaled down at all XD

Yeah, I'll probably end up doing that. Turns out if I don't constrain it to a two-bit palette, there would be a total increase in file size of one kilobyte. Not much lol

I know.

EDIT: Fixed that.
