Pinoy R.N. 2.0

Pinoy R.N. just got a virtual surgery... Ok, the right word is upgrade.

Actually, the upgrade is long overdue. This blog has been using the same old tired 'tic tac' template since its inception in December of 2005.

The old template had very limited feature set and was restricted to manual HTML and CSS coding whenever some tweaking was necessary. Doing back-end maintenance on the blog was both tedious and time-consuming with all the cryptic html codes.

So, this author finally took the plunge and upgraded to a newer and easier to use drag and drop template. Now with little or less time spent on back-end tweaking, Pinoy R.N. readers can expect more up-to-date nursing updates and information from this side of the world wide web.

Don't forget to vote in our poll and let us know what you think of the new Pinoy R.N.

Pinoy R.N. Blog Upgrade and Maintenance

Pinoy R.N. will be temporarily closed to internet traffic beginning midnight tonight (Sunday, March 30, 2008) to give way to blog upgrade and maintenance.

Users who are logged in before 12 midnight will still be able to access the blog as long as they do not refresh or close Pinoy R.N. on their internet browsers.

We will be back online shortly.
