"Abandoning Paradise" is changing quite a bit but what's cool to me is that it doesn't distort the content. But, unless you like watching evolution, I wouldn't screw with it just now.
For the masochists in the crowd, here's a link to Olympia. The page works fine and nothing will blow up in your face but more stuff may yet get added. I've given you the link to this one as I'm satisfied is very close to how I want these to present. I can also now stuff videos into them as there's a lot of freedom I didn't have with the iPad version.
Comments are welcome if you have any thoughts on anything it ought to do but doesn't, etc. A lot of ideas about how to do the slide show mechanism came about because Yevette was smokin' mad over how hard it was to find images in a different one. I'll back-fill that problem later after I've finished the book but the application was clear. Make the pictures so a visitor can find them again, browsing is not even close to enough.
I'm quite pleased with how it goes as I didn't expect this. Still no update for the Valerie site but this slide show gives me some more ideas for that one. It's all the same code but it evolves somewhat as it goes along. When she's ready, I'll get that rolling on her site as well.
Update:
The book is safe now. I wanted to make changes that would hit every page at once and that sort of thing usually breaks something. Amazingly enough, it didn't. There's a great deal more media in this version, particularly video. The object isn't to turn this into a picture book but I don't mean to leave them out unnecessarily.
I'm pleased with how the setup works and am now continuing with the last two segments of Chapter Two that will see me leaving Greece.
The Abandoning Paradise Contents page is only updated with new things when I know it works so now it's stable again.
