Serving my site content in XHTML in Unicode has already been on my to-do list for quite a while. I have read alot of articles on how to implement it. Sadly, 90% of the hosting companies are still using old PHP, old MySQL server and not having Multibyte String Functions enabled in PHP. They are not aware of , or just don't like the idea of "Internationalization" eh ?

After checking the specs of my hosting server, PHP seems to be OK but I am not sure about MySQL. It would be waste of time if the server is running a older version of MySQL that completely treats Unicode as something that came from outter space. Anyhow, I'll spend some time on this weekend to work on it. I just love the idea of having having Chinese characters on my site on top of English. Unicode will be my only option to do that. I don't like to serve the page with content="text/html; charset=gb2312", I just need something that can do all the things - Unicode.

By the way, I changed the top horizontal navigation menu on my site. I haven't upload it to this server though. Everything is still on localhost =) The one that's still on this site, it's too "heavy" and runs too slow. It consumes a noticeable amount of CPU performance. The new one will be alot more lightweight and most important thing is, it's still cross browser compatible.

Site will be updated pretty soon... hopefully...
