New Fresh Look for A New Beginning

As you might have noticed, we have made a major facial uplift to our site at NeoHide.com, a completely different theme based on flexible width for the content column. Compared to our previous theme, there is one sidebar less. We hope that the changes made to the theme will help browsing through the site much easier and less complicated, providing readers with ease-of-navigation.

Behind at the engine level, the Drupal CMS has been specially crafted and upgraded to the latest stable version of 6.x. It was only through careful planning, analysis and several backup made to the database and the files that we decided it is worthwhile to perform the upgrade. Our previous version was powered by an out-of-date Drupal version 4.7.11, which does not allow most of the contributed plugins to be used. Hence, this justify the move to upgrade the site to the next major version.

We intended to power the site at Drupal version 5.x, but we found that since we are doing these upgrades at this time and the upgrade to version 5.x has been done quite successfully with little disruption to the operation, it is without hesistation that an agreement is reached to upgrade to version 6.x directly, thereby prompting a huge jump of Drupal versions, skipping the 5.x family. We see Drupal 6.x as the next generation of content management system (CMS) that could potentially enhance our sites in the Internet space. Already, we are thinking and planning of migrating to the next version, Drupal 7!

In an effort to improve readability, we have removed most of the advertisement that has been clouding the previous theme. Some of the non high-paying ads have been eradicated so as to maximise revenue and minimise number of unhappy visitors. In this way, we can take readership as our main priority and promote readers to return for more. The project will take some time to manifest and turn the site into an optimum one, but we hope to do that as soon as possible.

Last but not least, we thank all of you for your loyal subscription and enjoy our new fresh look!

With Best Regards,
