My usual method of creating the navigation bar and the column of photos would be to use tables but in this case I resisted and used CSS to create padding and centering.

So far I’ve found embedding video a challenge with the exception of inserting Youtube video because Youtube provides the code to insert. It is pretty handy and having the video on Youtube helps with recognition of the client’s company. See it embedded on in the Charles Ogg Furniture page.

An amazing piece called the Musky Lounge Coffee Table features some fantastic hand carving by Charles Ogg. Also handy with a camera, Charles Ogg provided me with a panorama of the table’s edge and I posted it horizontally scrolling in a pop up layer as it is greater than 4000 pixels wide!

This last upgrade also included a navigational tool I learned about with this upgrade called “bread crumbs” which allows for easy linking back. I’ve seen it on other sites and finally learned how to use it myself. This one is called “Breadcrumb Links Script” and was created by Nate Baldwin. He provides a tutorial to use his script here.

Peacock Floorcloth by Fish House Designs

A web site project I really enjoyed because the artwork is so amazing. Have a look for  yourself. I posted large, resizable images in the gallery to show them off. Wondering what a floorcloth is? Here’s a blurb from the home page: Though called floorcloths, the art can colorfully adorn walls, tables, dressers and anywhere in the house a splash of color is needed, including floors. Inspired by “batik” fabrics & gifts from nature, using a variety of tools and applications, artist, Donna Claytor, explores color, design, glazing techniques, layering & paint manipulation to make one-of-kind, beautiful, durable and creative floorcloths that are suitable for framing.

I’m posting sites I have made, my comments and updates. The progression is interesting as the learning process goes on. Thanks for reading and comments are open.
