DigitalMediaMagik.com Gets a Facelift

The website is not completely finished yet, but the facelift is pretty much complete so I will take the "Easter / Holy week milestone" as my cut-off point to declare the facelift complete.
  • Cross-browser support: The site (and blog) now work with a very broad spectrum of popular browsers including IE (Microsoft's Internet Explorer), FireFox (Mozilla), Safari (Apple), and Chrome (Google). Up-to-date browser usage statistics peg this coverage at 97%.


  • A panorama animation on DigitalMediaMagik.com gives the pages a "constant width" and showcases one of my services — making panoramas from multiple digital snapshots


  • To accomodate smaller screens, there is an "X" action on the right-hand side of the panorama animation which makes it disappear and the page redraws so you can read more without having to scroll.


  • The former "menu tree", on the left-hand side of all the pages, has been replaced with something much simpler. The "Community / TalkAbout" icon — an extension of that menu — was reworked to 'fit' better and to reflect the new DigitalMediaMagik.com logo.


  • I elaborated the previously-empty page about my StoryBoard (video) product, celebrating a project I did for my sister's 60th birthday.


  • My "community" space — these pages — still have the same web address (blog.DigitalMediaMagik.com) but the blog has been rehosted, I got caught up wrt my backlog of articles, and I created a customized template to give the blog a much more pleasing and accessable format. For comparison, the old blog is still there… but there are no links to it ☺; the final article therein details the rehosting.


  • There are a number of new "Page Elements" in the blog sidebar, including my DigitalMediaMagik.com Twitter "feed" and more About Me.

  1. This blog has a nice fresh look to it and the style is very professional and easy to read. I love your header. What a great panorama. The picture you've chosen is perfect for a business in which you are trying to enable people communicate with each other on a personal level via multi media. As they say, a photo is worth a thousand words.

  2. for this one I signed into Google first to see if it was accepted via the first wiziwig... SIS

    this time I got "the request can not be processed please try again" and I know I typed the wiziwig correctly.

  3. now for my third try today..... i'm already signed in to google as I was on the previous try.... hope this time the wiziwig is recognized the first time....

    damn i got the request cannot be processed message so I am deducing that it just never accepts the first typing of the wiziwig... SIS
