| This is our first "Home
Page" style web site and was first published in July of 2004.
After having worked at
Cisco
Systems for several years now, I guess it's about time that I setup a website for us just to make sure that I know how to do it, so here it is! As
you will see, it's mostly about our house here, the projects we do, the toys we
play with and the fun we have at Chester River Beach all year round! I did
a short survey with my colleagues at work, and found that they all had a website, so now I'm gonna have one! It has all the components of a "real" website like frame pages with scrolling bodies, a nested menu structure, feedback,
guestbook, search & sitemap pages, photos, slide shows and embedded and
downloadable video! Friends & family can visit to see our latest photos and projects and sign the guestbook along the way!
The site is hosted by Go Daddy where I get a full gigabyte of server space for just $9.95 a month. I started with 50 Megs at $3.95 a month, but that soon got used up with all the pictures! They are so cheap yet it has been working fine and they are quick to answer any questions, so I can recommend them. The site is tested with Microsoft Internet
Explorer version 6.0.28 with a screen size of 1024 x 768. I know that many
users have larger Thanks for
looking! Long Term LogJanuary 7, 2008 Hmm, I guess I should keep this log more up to date! Well I will through 2008 as I am planning to have more time! /Adrian..

Removed the sunburst effect FrontPage hover buttons and put back
the navigation link bars this time using a simpler and thinner bar matching the
colors of the site. On some systems the hover buttons were not
working because of Java issues and they were slow to load. It also appeared that some people
didn't even know they were buttons because the cursor did not change to a hand
when the mouse was over them! The problem with the navigation link
bars is that they don't support target frames so now every menu option needs a whole
page which I have also added, so there are now no longer independent submenus.

Added map and renamed Worldgate to Condo page. Also made "Worldgate" into a submenu from the Home page. More coming to the "Worldgate" menu soon. Added an oil painting to Susan's Art page. Editorial updates to this About page. Updated all frame body pages so that they will load the entire frame page if they are loaded on their own as a top page (onLoad="if (top == self) top.location='the_frame_page.htm'" within the body tag).
