Hello Group !

Well the doc has had me home for a few days and since I can't go
anywhere or do anything I thought "Heck ! I'll just start another
website !" ;>)

So I log into my godaddy account and book the domain :

heritagephotoworks.com

Of course I want this site to be a little different than my previous
sites. Something a little eye-catching and I want it to exude that
feeling we get when we reminisce over old photos. I want to combine
scans of images I have from the 1800's with layered text, images and
perhaps streaming audio into one cohesive document. I've thought about
using Macromedia Flash but I've steered away from Macromedia products as
they simply aren't as stable as I'd like. MX2004 is a real crasher on my
system for some reason.

Anyway, this is going to be a self-promotional site for myself as I'm
hoping to jump out of the tech field in the coming 365-or-less days
prior to being outsourced/off-shored/screwed by my employer. Actually a
little late as they just sent my job along with 500 others overseas, but
anyway ..... I'm still working for now.

While I do have the full version of Office 2003 including PowerPoint, I
don't think using PowerPoint would be a good idea (as referenced in Re:
Picture transitions). I've reviewed several javascripts but I haven't
seen any that can accomplish something this complex and most of what
I've looked at seems lacking.

Thanks again for any recommendations !
 
Hi John,

You should be a writer or at least start a blog... it's good therapy. :)
There is a new product I've run across recently called Xtivity. It's suppose
to have the neat features of Flash without the learning curve of
actionscript. You might want to take a peek to see if your system meets the
minimum requirements. It creates .swf files you can put in HTML. It looks
like it would be good for presentations or a photography site.

I presume you'll use Frontpage (sold separately, not part of the "Office"
suite of products), not powerpoint for web development work? Any image
editing should be done in an image editor.
