Modeling off of one of the Movable Type templates, I’ve replaced all the rest of the TABLE code with DIV and FLOAT code. Which has turned out kind of cool. The page doesn’t load any faster, in toto, but it starts displaying almost immediately (first the picture/title, then the posts, then, almost as an afterthought, the link list on the right … in case you didn’t notice).
So it feels like it loads faster (always good), and, functionally, it very quickly lets folks see if anything has changed.
Cool, if I do say so myself.
