Strike?

\"strikeStrike while the iron is hot, they say. That\’s what I must do when I come up with an idea for making changes to this web site.

If I let things wait, I\’ll forget what I planned to do. Once I start acting on my plans, I work like mad because I want to finish as soon as possible; so that visitors to the site have to put up with minimal inconvenience.

For example, take the slide show for My Story. My original idea was to have a colored background with a pic on it; a header; and buttons for URL. I soon found that I needed to change my plans.

The slides didn\’t look the same in the web site as in the slide builder; various components moved themselves around, and changed sizes; and the buttons didn\’t work. I finally made slides with the desired pic as the entire slide; and texts and buttons on top of the pic.

The slides change themselves more quickly than I would like. I need to find a way to put a Pause button on each slide; so that anyone who wants to view a slide for more than five seconds can do so.

There\’s always something that needs working on, seven days a week … maybe I should go on strike?
