Ready to Stop? Thank You

[Ann McRae]

Hello

I want to thank Ivar for the tutorials, Ivar, Barb, DavidTO, Anthony, and especially Allen for helping me get my site to the point it is now.

Not only am I really pleased with the organization, I have finally keyworded and keyworded and keyworded...

I also have knowedge now of the resources necessary to make any further changes.

I think this will be like my garden...never really finished.

I've looked at the site in IE, Netscape and FF and on three different monitors. The differences between them are minor.

I would like some critical review, but mostly wanted to thank the smug super heros for getting m here.

The super heroes are great - and the community here on dgrin, too :bow

I like the newer logo better, nice :thumb Ann, I suggest a consistent look/feel. That's my comment at this point. I'll come back again soon. Navigate around my site, you'll see consitency. I think it helps.

Ann, that's a beautiful site. Well done! :)

I left a comment in your guestbook. :thumb

[Allen]

Lookin' real nice.:clap:barb

Found a few minor tweaks.
You don't need the page nav on for these info only galleries.
/* Collage Samples */
/* guestbook */
/* soccer shots */
/* prints and services */
.gallery_1609705 .pageNav,
.gallery_2579686 .pageNav,
.gallery_2625279 .pageNav,
.gallery_2586533 .pageNav
{display:none;}

Turn printing off for Action Photography info page to remove cart buttons.

That's all I found to pretty it up. Will wait for more seeds to generate in
your garden.:D

[Ann McRae]

Thanks, everyone.

Allen a new seed has germinated. I want to change either the font size or the color or both of the iternal links that I have made directing people to other pages.

So I saw in 'Kirsten's thread' a CSS code to do so. I copied it,put apropriate gallery # in and tried it. It worked on the first page I used it on. So, brvely I tried another and another....Cannot make it work globally.

Here is the code I tried, for my 'About Me' page and my "Prints and Services' page:

/*about me links*/
.gallery_2565581 .journal_entry a {
color: 853306;
}
?*prints and services links*/
.gallery_2586533 .journal_entry a {
color: 853306;
}

Should this have worked?

Ideally, I would have all text that color, and the links bold or large.

Thanks

Just a guess without looking, but those are directed at a journal entry only.
Are the other pages set to journal style?

[Ann McRae]

Yes, they are - well at least the two mentioned here are.

So Allen, what part of that really simple code says 'links'. Is it the 'a'? That is amazing to me.

If they aren't journal style galleries, then what would the code need to look like?

Thanks!!!

might I suggest using:

firstSlideUrl = "jpeg url here";

Throw it in your footer. That way people can see a picture as soon as they load up your site. Maybe it's my connectiom, but when I went to your site-- the slide show doesn't load right away... so it just looks like a blank space at first. Anyways, love the site, and these forums are awesome...help is always around =D.

Thnks, Paul.

I've tried your suggestion - do you see a difference?

I like it better that way. There will always be the picture there as soon as your page loads up. You also might want to change the first slide picture every now and then, so that it's not always the same. Looks good.:barb

~Paul

edit: oh yeah, I use "quickStart = false;" also. I'm not sure what the default is. This will make it so that the slideshow won't start until it is fully loaded. It would stop the slide show from being jumpy/glitchy at the start. I'm not sure it makes that much difference, but I don't think it hurts.

Calendar:

Hi

I am setting up a google calendar showing potential shooting availability.

Rich has pointed out how to do this, and I have inserted the iframe link into an html only page, and put the appropriate CSS, but the calendar is not showing.

Can someone peak and see where I've gone wrong please?

I have successfully put the calendar onto my bran' spankin' new blog, but think I should have it both places.

cheers
