First of all I want to make a confession….I forgot about that
PowerPoint and had to go find it again. I actually got frustrated because of
this, even though it was not that hard to find it. My forgetfulness is possibly
due to my CRSS, also known as ‘Can’t Remember Stuff Syndrome’ (although ‘Stuff’
is usually a more vulgar word) [ha!].
Anyways,
once I was able to successfully find the PowerPoint and looked through the
links, it was not strenuously difficult to find links that were similar. Here
are some of the examples I found:
·
Site on creating rollover images:
·
Site on creating a slideshow:
·
Site on creating a navigation menu:
·
Site on preloading images with CSS:
·
Site for free graphics:
·
Site for accessibility viewer:
As
far as my own site is concerned, it is difficult to find three that will go
along with the idea that I had in mind. However I believe I’ve found three
sites from the list above. Those three include:
o If this
site is used to help me create my website, I could have a slideshow of facts
that automatically transition and still have the fact information displayed
with an image. If a person should need the transitions to stop, there is also
the possibility to scroll over the slideshow to make it stop.
o Of course,
I believe this site will definitely be one that I will probably use. It will
help me create the navigation bar across the top or wherever it is desired.
[However, I did prefer the site on the PPT (cssmenumaker.com) with the
exception that I believe you had to pay for it].
o This is
definitely not an absolute source that I’ll use, but it is a possibility. If I
do have an image with the fact (which may not always be the case), a user could
have the option of ‘rolling over’ the image to discover a different image.
However, this idea possibly seems outlandish due to the fact that visitors will
be paying closer attention to the information displayed rather than the image.
Even more important is the fact that most won’t think of moving their mouse
over an image when it is a transitioning slideshow.
In case links do not work, I have listed the entire
URLs here:
