The images on the website are displayed using the Prettphoto jQuery lightbox clone. Prettyphoto may not have the best tutorial or support but is is quick and free. Note that when placing the <script src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> in your header the area in bold may need to be altered to the correct file name. Other than that is should work perfectly.

Currently working on the "Craibwoud Files" game, which is a murder mystery style game using smart devices to interact with objects in the real world. Due to the amount of coding and images this will still take a bit to complete. Sadly this project has pushed back my time on learning PHP to create a better blog system, but it will happen.

Updated the slightly neglected site using a bit of javascript to allow the Gallery to have a more dynamic UI. Added some styling to the Video Gallery as well. Also updated some videos and images, but still more to add.

Was able to get around mouseover image loading issues with adding the nice little script...

function preload(){
 if (document.images) {
  img1 = new Image();
  img1.src = "your_image.jpg";

  //if you want to add more images repeat...
  img2 = new Image();
  img2.src = "your_image.jpg";

  //you can insert a second function in this one to control which images
  load first, i.e. "preload2"();

}
}



Simply placing the above code in the <script></script> tags and the calling it in the same <script> tag thusly...

preload();

...will allow all images to load behind the scenes instead of waiting to be called by the mouseover event.

Ok so modified the site to hide the HTML extensions using some PHP placed in the .htaccess file that is located in the public_html section of most people's servers...

RewriteBase /

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html



Thanks to the thread at 000webhost.com for the help.

Craibwoud.com is currently being overhauled and the blog is still under construction.
