17 March 2007

I've updated the Art Gallery into a new format of squares in groups of 3x3. I've made a few adjustments and used a fair bit of javascript in it to get the effects I wanted. I also discovered a whole lot of CSS in terms of adding in drop shadows to images by using DIV tags with background image of a transparent shadow.
Also the use of !important in CSS, so that the browser will try this first, and if not, will go onto the next line. This can be used to give certain elements priority if a conflicting element comes up. This is extremely important with PNG images which Mozilla Firefox will display correctly, but Internet Explorer will not.
I have also updated the secondary colour to be red, giving a bit more kick to the site than the "Shrek" green that I had. I also updated the background to incorporate the swirl that I had in the previous version of this site. It gives it a bit of a Victorian feel with the whole royal red thing going on too...!
Let me know what you think and Enjoy!

Chamber of Secrets : Telecaster

7 March 2007



There she is! My new baby! Squire Master Series Chambered Tele. It sounds gorgeous, feels great and looks even better. It has 3 way selector on the two humbucking pickups and Volume and Tonal controls for both as well. Because it is chambered it is really light and sits well both standing and in a chair. The colour is rosewood and is completed by a very soft, smooth matte finish.
I am currently selling my Ibanez RG350 as well, as I do not play enough to warrant two great guitars like these! Visit TradeMe to see my auction (and bid away!!!).
