[Grovenet] Don't Know the Time of Day?

[Ed Davie]

I managed to make it work by truncating the URL 
and getting into the page that way.

  Among other things, I do some web site 
maintenance for Intel. It's a huge
  trade-off between going for the "fun and games" 
such as Macromedia Flash
  provides and trying to deal with pages that 
don't display for some viewers.

  Since I am primarly a content person (editor and 
writer, not "web
  developer") I like to stick with basic HTML and 
let the content produce the
  interest. But, as time goes on, new technology 
becomes so common that one
  can safely assume it's available everywhere. I 
can remember when a
  photograph in a newspaper article was only 
justified for a lead on the front
  page. Now it's a surprise when the managing 
editor doesn't use a color photo
  on the back page!

  The WEB is going along the same sort of 
development. There are those who
  create interest (or, in ad-speak "impact") 
mostly out of what I call the
  "gee whiz" factor, as in "Gee Whiz! Look at 
THAT!!" which works for a short
  while. But the "Gee Whiz" factor of any 
technique quickly wears thin with
  repetition as anyone who has spent time on a 
nude beach knows.

  I've always gone for impact based on content and 
message. (And no, I will
  *not* relate that to a nude beach analogy.)

  But I won't put down those "gee whiz" types: 
they keep nudging the new
  techniques along.

  Worked okay on a Mac running Sarfari

  I wonder if it would be easier for a child to 
visualize the flow of
  time?
