Gwebs Cryptographer

Finally we got a new layout for Cryptographer’s English blog. Now the layout is about the same as our Chinese blog’s layout.
I personally like this layout much better than previous one. The blog is now easier to follow and older posts are organized with categories and of course you can also browse the archives to see what has happened previously.
The layout and blog-features will update bit by bit, and hopefully soon everything is working well. So far we have faced some inconveniences of the new layout, but I believe that those problems are mostly handled by tweaking the CSS-style sheets.
