The purpose of this section of my web site is not to pretend that I am some big web guru but to share with others what I have learned along the way after I myself struggled with the questions I answer here.

Here are the tools and the instructions you need to prove to one and all that you can't draw anything more than hungry flies, then animate the pathetic thing.

Client-Pulls
ever hit a web page that got out of town but left a page behind that automatically redirected you to the new location? How do they do that? Well that's what I wanted to know so I packed up my bags and flew to fabulous Rio for 2 days and 3 nights of nonstop partying. When I got back my wife had the answer for me, it's amazing what she can do if I just stay out of her hair!

OK, it's not really a roll over, it is a "mouse over", and there are no graphics other than the spots you normally see before your eyes. What this actually is, is a status bar message.

Favicons
You know those tiny colorful images you see everywhere go? Quit drinking and that problem will stop, as will waking up next to 70 year old barflies with inch thick makeup melting off their faces.
