In the past few months, I’ve made tons of changes to this site. Below is a short list of them:
1. For the Blog areas, I noticed that Internet Explorer fails to display my post titles correctly. This is because I use a little JavaScript program that converts the title of the post into an image, which is an easy method of being able to use any font you want, whether the viewer had it installed on their own system or not. In order to remedy this issue, I added code to display a message for those using IE to browse the site with another browser - such as Chrome or Firefox.
2. I have slowly started fixing all of my ftp uploads that connect my Flickr videos with the actual High-Definition video used to upload to Flickr. It'll probably take me the year to get all 500+ videos added.
3. Speaking of Flickr videos, in order to be allowed to have my actual videos sitting in a download folder within my ftp area, I had to create a {LINKS REMOVED} linking back to this site. It automatically displays all of the videos so far added online. The link can also be found within the Pictures menu.
4. On the Photo page, I fixed an issue where Firefox would display the next year’s set of image on the same line, rather than correctly starting on the next.
5. Up until last week, the gallery listing all digital images from 2000-2008 were manually created in a series of cell tables. I modified my method of displaying posts, in order to have it display the link only. Once that was achieved, I had to then re-add all those past image sets as new posts (by date), and watched as they populated the correct year area. The beauty of this method is when I decide to move 2009 in to that area, it will do it with a simple line of code, rather than adding all 92 by hand.
6. I had to publicly remove some of my videos from the Video section, simply because they're next in line to be re-mastered. I hope to get those back up shortly.
7. The Timeline, which lists all the clips & videos created so far, had all of it's links verified and corrected. The now-private videos are noted as such.
8. In the Video section, I tweaked the look of it - changing where the title appears and displaying the views up front.
9. Also, the main movie image was changed to a silhouette of me and some of my camera equipment. It replaced the temporary image of my old camera, which was in place since 2008. I still plan to photograph an actual image that visually looks better, but it’ll do for now.
10. For my Tape Logs {LINK REMOVED} section, I began scanning (OCR) all of my offline paperwork, in order to have complete and searchable listing.
11. Although I already mentioned that was added to my Art & Design, I finally uploaded the actual DVD file used when adding the video to MySpace {LINK REMOVED} years ago.
12. I removed the “posted dates” from all other website areas, except for the blog.
13. Lastly, I removed the FFlick link from the header, as that site was purchased by Google, and no longer displays my movie related posts.
