I have been cleaning up the code a bit on http:winefaq.cwdjr.net/ and
made one change on the entry page that you might wish to check. At the bottom of the page I have added a slide show of all of the wines and glasses that are used for the random image you see at the top of the page. It has a background music drinking song recorded in 1906 by a very famous singer. See if you can guess who she is. The show will not start downloading unless the large start button is clicked so that it will not slow the site down for those with a slow connection. I made the recording using the FLV/SWF format which is now the leading video format on the web. Many large sites have replaced Windows, Real, and QT formats with it because it will play on most modern computers and has many other advantages. Videos on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, YouTube, etc now usually are in this format. Although I marked it as low broadband so those with very slow connections will not click it if they are in a hurry, it likely will play even on dialup, but instead of starting to stream nearly at once it might have to buffer up to a few minutes before it starts playing. There is a dark download progress bar that will give you an idea of how much has been downloaded. That 1906 recording took a lot of processing to sound half way decent. With such old recordings there is only so much you can do. In case regular users of the faqs site do not want to go through the front door, just bookmark the page you get after clicking "Enter" and in the future you can skip the entry page you have viewed before. |
