I do some programming in my spare time so I thought I'd make a little site to view flickr's explored photos in a cool way. Please feel free to visit and bookmark it. Let me know if you find any bugs because I put the code together in about an hour.

Enjoy!

FYI - the rest of the site is a work in progress as well so there isn't much content there yet.

UPDATE - Google migrated their services and broke my page ... bummer.

web recomendado, amaztype.tha.jp

UPDATE:
chapmanit.com is mine. well...it has been leased for a couple of years.

Implemented a way to 'lock in' a theme as per Blake R's suggestion. thanks!

Comments added below picture for those which need to give credit to others (not taken by ChapmanPhotography/me)

Validate XHTML / CSS links temporarily removed. I feel like I'm cheating...but the primary xhtml validation site has been acting up (for me?) lately. The CSS would validate...but I coded my CSS (stylesheet) in php. The php relies on information from the actual page...but when CSS is validated, it doesn't reference the 'parent' page(s). So, it doesn't validate because I have variables coded via php into the CSS. If I put the XHTML link back up, I'll probably make a static stylesheet and link to that to make the site validate successfully. Sorry if you don't speak code...I just wasted your time.

We do IT, so you don't have to.

view it:

This is my website. It's not quite complete. The links on the left and main links on the navbar work. The sub links, however, do not.

Website features:
*Tutorials and software are randomly pulled from a table so they are different each time.
*Brief software reviews for lots of free (for personal use and some for other) software
*Picture + color scheme is also randomized per page load. They can be randomized by hitting 'F5' on the keyboard or the reload button on your browser. The available themes can be manually specified by using the left and right arrows at the top right of the page.

Next on the list are
*delete a few of the 'themes' that I don't care for
*add some more tutorials
*add full sub-page (/computerwork/maintenance/) content <--currently only the summaries in the main computer work page exist

i'm more of a web programmer/web engineer (i think of web design as the graphical/aesthetic part, which i do but don't feel as comfortable with), so it's still somewhat simplistic...but it has my wife's stamp of approval.

i'd love to hear any feedback concerning the content, themes, site-layout, usability, or anything else relative to the site. oh, i've purchased 'chapmanit.com' and am just waiting on pointing the domain to the current residence.

the lookatme reference was from veggie tales. pretty funny stuff.
