Pagan Vigil Entry Page Banner


After a lot of work, I finally got an entry page banner running for Pagan Vigil. I had originally wanted one that would combine navigation and location, but I had never managed to get something to overcome the dark link code on the dark background without resorting to the FONT tag.

I made the original version of this banner for teknologi, but I think this one works better.

Famous last words. It doesn't do what I wanted it to do. So I threw in an extra style code of HW on the actual entry page and tagged the category link.

Website hack


There is one trick that I am really proud of. It dates back to earlier versions of Technopagan Yearnings. When I spotted the effect, I knew I was doing something "wrong," but I realized I could use it for psychological effect.

Normally you want your pages to load as fast as possible because if the site isn't mostly loaded in 30 seconds, the viewer thinks about going to another site. The pre-blog versions of TPY were VERY graphics intensive and I was always trying to get around it.

Redirect/Frame Page


Here is an example of my Redirect/Frame Pages. Obviously I want folks to be redirected, but just in case they aren't, the page creates a frame to host the real site. That way I don't have to use multiple hosts for each site. Down at the bottom of the entry you'll find the complete code, but I will walk through this step by step.

We start with the HTML and HEAD tags obviously.
