New blog & Scriptaculous Splash script

May 19, 2007  FILED TO: Blog, Technical, Web Design

I’ve created a new blog to be consistent with my company website and imported the posts from this blog.  I might eventually shut down this blog and use that one only.  However, for now it is just work-related.  Go to http://www.spiraldesigns.com.au/blog.

Along with  a few other changes to the Spiral Designs site, I’ve added a page for Code that I create which I’d like to make available to the rest of the world.  The first script is based on Scriptaculous and allows you to have a “Splash” intro to a website without a separate page or Flash.  It can be used for alerting users to new features or news on the site or welcome them in.  Note that I’m not hugely keen on splash pages myself, I think they’re a waste of time, but there may be occasions where one is required.  This code can be used for other kinds of alerts or messages, not just splash pages, and is customisable.  Check it out: http://www.spiraldesigns.com.au/code.
