New Year updates to the site

I made some minor updates to the blog site over the weekend, it now covers a wider screen area. Wider Sider bar. And a very own Ajax Search Engine. More coming.

To widen the layout, I not only had to change the width attributes of container and side bar, but also recreate newer top, bottom and shadow images using gimp and existing images.

The Search bar uses google Custom Search Engine and Ajax Search API.

Also there is an attempt to solve IE 6 png transparency fix via this jquery plugin. I havent tested it myself, but if someone has IE 6 or less, please let me know.
