I know, I should be writing about food related items, to serve my curious food loving audience to the max. Sorry, today (as so many other days) I am again totally obsessed about a technical detail on my website. I want to integrate more pictures, since many of us are perfectly capable of eating with our eyes (see, it still comes down to food and eating, even when it looks at the surface like I am thinking about webdevelopment).
(see what I mean? Looking at food pictures is a joy in itself. These are fresh goat cheeses, presented at the Terra Madre convention in Turin, in 2008)
There are many website which have some form of slideshow. Problem (according to my very wise webdeveloper) is that the majority of the slideshows are presented in a format called “Flash” and that not all browsers can deal with that format. Then you get one of those annoying little blue squares. All Blackberry and iPhone users know what I mean.
So I have spend many interesting, though unproductive, hours with trying to reinvent the slideshow-wheel, in an effort to save spending 22 Euros on a ready-to-go solution.
This morning, while pondering all the possible improvements to the website, I decided to stop this madness and buy a (hopefully) easy solution.
So now it’s time to get to work and see how fast I can get the thing working. Keep an eye on the site!
