The Oop Carves a Pumkin
Last year, Alex wasn't walking. This year, she's going to be motoring down the street like a smaller version of most kids. THIS will be Alex's very first time "Trick-or-Treating". I doubt we'll be out long, but our little angel (appropriately dressed as one), will no-doubt be excited by the adventure! When you're just two, EVERYTHING is so brand new.
A pure CSS, XHTML-valid Slide Show (slideshow) viewer. No javascript is needed. Features: (1) Single image file used for both ZOOM image and thumbnail image. This means faster load speeds. (2) Optionally, two image files can be used (the thumbnail can be one image, the css zoom another, like the “about” image). (3) This method or technique is pure-css and is XHTML valid (all flavors, transitional, strict, version 1.1, XHTML1.1, XHTML-strict, loose, frames, etc.) (4) There isn't any javascript needed. No need to preload images, no worrying if client machines have javascripting turned off. (5) You can use an thumbnail image, a number image, text number or text as the zoom "buttons". The zoomed or blow-up images are shown in a single (resizable) window location. This means that lots of images can be shown, utilizing or using page real estate wisely. The CSS and XHTML footprint is small and the code is well-formed. If you're looking for a pure CSS, xhtml-valid slideshow viewer ... one such as this might be the ticket.

A Short Slide-Show
Last year, Alex wasn't walking. This year, she's going to be motoring down the street like a smaller version of most kids. THIS will be Alex's very first time "Trick-or-Treating". I doubt we'll be out long, but our little angel (appropriately dressed as one), will no-doubt be excited by the adventure! When you're just two, EVERYTHING is so brand new.
She was very eager to help 'carve' the pumpkin, though she did far more seed plucking and table smearing, than she did carving. (Sharp knives and tiny toddlers don't mix). Still, she was excited at first, then apprehensive about sticking her hand in the gooey pumpkin. She managed, with a little persuading ... then the inborn glee of making an absolute MESS took over and she didn't look back.
It's been years since Rachel or I have carved a pumpkin and we have to thank Alex, for opening our eyes to childhood wonder, for a second time! It was very fun, especially for the first-timer.
Happy Halloween!





























Thanks!
Glad you like our site. You didn't include a link this time. I'm surprised. We're among the diminishing number of bloggers that still support the <a> tag in our comments. (I don't see why visitors should suffer because of spammers).
You've been added to "greenEggs".
FYI, I complained to your host provider (Barak I.T.C.) and let them know about your comment SPAM. If your accounts are suspended, you'll know it was, in part, because of my efforts.
If you continue to SPAM ... I have Barak's IP ranges and will simply ban them (it's a bit unfortunate - I'm sure that the range contains a number of legitimate IPs too).
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Cheers,

PS ... I'm working on the new release "Phoenix", which will include moderated comments.
