Title: Zero Network, almost there!

Zero Network is almost complete! The layout is finally completed today after more than 150 working hours is being spend on it. It is a totally new experience to me because I am dealing with a CSS layout for the first time and man, CSS is indeed the best as compared to my current layout coding and tables.
With the completion of layout, everything should be easy now. For the next 1 or 2 days, I will be doing on a final overall layout check that include code cleanup and graphic cleanup. After that, the process will be to re-upload my images from my testing website to Photobucket and uploading all the necessary CSS coding (wouldn't take more than 3 hours). Last but not least, I will change the contents coding area which will take a day.
Expected release date is somewhere next week. You can follow up on the latest development about Zero Network in the new official URL, http://zero-network.webs.com/. Of course, with Zero Network opening soon, I will be shutting down Shadow Inc. However, the website will still remain for viewing pleasure and to serve as my website hobby memories. However the short sub domain, http://shadowinc.z-network.vze.com/, will be removed and changed back to http://z-network.vze.com/.
For people that is wondering which URL to use in the future to view Zero Network, you can choose to use either one. It will work. :)

Title: ZN Delay until further notice

Unfortunately it is sad to say that Zero Network will be delay until further notice. While I have already finished up the layout, I decided to scrap the whole layout and make a new one. So what is the reason?
First of all, my current layout are heavily dependent on the usage of images and fixed positioning. These causes two problems for guests visiting the website. One, massive amount of images will cause the minority people who have super slow Internet connection to take ages to complete the loading. Two, fixed positioning causes guests to have lesser good experience surfing the website because the layout is build on a fixed resolution (for example if the layout is make for 1024x768, then it is best view with that resolution only). Secondly, the coding that I used for... 6 years or so are in a mess and isn't a validation script.
These are the reason why I am scrapping the current Zero Network layout. I will be making a new one, a simple layout yet unique, compatible across all most major browsers and resolutions and less taxing for guests with slower Internet connection. How long will this take? Beats me. I am following a layout tutorial but I will be obviously changes stuff here and there. Furthermore, the new layout will be using CSS which I do not have much knowledge on. My target is to get the layout done by next week since the contents are already ready.
Once the layout is done, I can easily add in the contents and Zero Network will finally be open.
