So I have been on a hunt a while now, for a tutorial on how to create dynamic header images. I have a site which I have dynamic headers images…well kind of. I have a long, if/else statement, where I have written elseifs for each category and page. While this works, it entails updating the [...]

Here are some interesting things I have come across lately. In Defense of Eye Candy – A List Apart A very good article about why it is important to focus time on the aesthetics of a website, instead of simply worrying about function. It argues well for the reality that function & form a integrally [...]

I have really been wanting to add a page of photos. Something that displays a grid of thumbnail images with clicking for the full-size. The problem is Im not sure of the best way to do it. It seems I could use a gallery, but I dont really want to mess with that. Im trying [...]

Last couple of days on the internet have been filled with enlightening readings on web typography. Not sure why the sudden surge of interest, but it has definitely inspired me. I have done some tinkering to the site, trying to make it a little cleaner. I spent a lot of time this morning reading about [...]

I took on the project of creation. And FUMCclass.com was born. This week has been with many hours working in front of the computer screen working [...]

For all those RSS readers out there who don’t actually visit my site often, I have added a little color. My daughter, Raine, (pictured below) received a nice card, from her granny, in the mail for thanksgiving, and like all good kids do, she recycled it into art. The card wasn’t really a card at [...]

Today I was messing around with my wife’s website once again. I found a nice flash plugin for her gallery which changed the look of it, more to what both of us wanted. The size of the flash object had to be adjusted; I messed around until I got what looked like a good size [...]

I have been busy the past few days working on my wife’s website, I haven’t gotten much reading or posting done as a result. But the success of what I was able to do, makes it worth it. One of the things I was wanting to do for her, was to change her links page [...]
