I was hoping to be able to report that adding video to a web page with the new <video> tag brought to us by HTML5, would make life a lot easier. Not yet, it ain't!
I have spent a good deal of time trying to resolve a number of issues.
To a certain extent some of the problems, are my own, since I have legacy material in Quicktime .mov format, and I was reluctant to go back and convert. However, a splendid batch process has resolved this for me...
Where pages are very long, like a list of events or news items, we might want a way to quickly move back the top of the page.
You will have seen ‘back to the Top’ or some such phrase used on web sites. I have always hated seeing that phrse, because ‘top’ doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Words lke this just distract from the real content.
There are often times, though that pages become very long when lots of items (like in a blog) are listed, and it really does help if there is a quick way to get back to the navigation and menus etc.
I am having a look at some eMarketing services today. It is interesting to see how you can subscribe to services for setting up and sending out email marketing newsletters and the like.
I really want to try and set this up with ExpressionEngine if possible. I notice that Solspace has a link to Constant Contact so this could be a way forward.
I have now transferred all personal blog entries to chrisjennings.net.
This is the domain address I have owned for several years now, and have always used it for a mixture of my own history, family photos and memories. I thought it was time to make a break between private stuff and more work related stuff. So you won’t find pictures of children or pets on PageToScreen anymore. You just need to take a look over at chrisjennings.net.
The content is all delivered dynamically through the same database though. How did I do it?
