Well, this is my first content post after moving all the stuff from digitalnews to my big domain DS NETS! My Christmas morning was great! Slept until 12 o'clock and not feeling like sleeping any more! Today is the most relaxing and quiet Christmas that I had for a long time.

Hope this little website grows soon. It was a pain in the butt to make the template and stuff....
I had to convert my html template into my Mambo CMS compliant template. That was pretty easy. (adding PHP codes here and there) Then I had to write a Mambo Template compliant CSS style sheet for the template! It took about a good one and a half hours to do that! Hmmm...

After all the fun process done, I wanted to see how far I was from my template being XHTML compliant. The good news was I had little errors to fix. All said and done, I was finished!

Hope you like the template. There are some fixing to do, such as putting links on the image menu on the top menu bar. I need to write new abstracts and put new contents soon, but the new materials will roll-in later today!
My first post.....

Welcome!

This is my writing depository containing analysis and opinion on current events. Online since 2004, DS NETS continues to strive to contribute to the general online discussion on the ongoing political, societal, and cultural events around the world and at home.

It is my belief that through good writing that not only I can think beyond the headlines and abstract summary of articles but also my writings can open new avenues for further research and discussions.

Technical

In order to maximize capability among visitors, this website does not depend on bloated javascript and other code to display the content to the audience. There are no external advertisements, and the website is relatively lightweight for the web browser of all kinds.

The website design was done by scratch (by me), and readability of the content, as well as the aesthetics, was the focus of the design.

Hopefully, the lightweight nature of the website can make the browsing experience more pleasant.
