NEW MEDIA: Adding Graphics to Hypertext
In an attempt to dress up one of the stories a bit, I’ve added (probably over-added) some graphics. The problem? The pages load the images so slow that it’s annoying to be reading and the background image might suddenly pop up, or the smaller images (just like the logo here) slowly “unroll” into view.
I’m not sure if it’s my server (Lunar), WordPress, my css setups, my own Comcast cable, or my Mac growing old and pokey.
This isn’t the fun part of writing. It’s sort of making the whole project more effort than it’s worth and beginning to turn me off to whole new media thing. It seems that unless you know the programs and coding very well, the trial and error method loses its appeal after a few days.
