Welcome to my article about great entertainment images on the Web. In these articles, I try to point you all toward great sites that have lots of entertainment images.
Halloween is almost here. Is your web site ready for it? In my last article I pointed the way to some cool resources to help you to Halloween-ize your site. As I am currently in the process of doing that very thing to my own site, I have a few more tips. Adding stuff for Halloween is great, but you can also change your existing graphics for the occasion, then change them back later. Each section of my site has a title graphic that I made myself. Well, I've also made alternate Halloween versions of each one, and I'm in the process of switching everything now. Just keep the alternates in their own folder, but with the same file names as the originals. Then just upload them! If the graphics re-appear throughout your site (a good idea anyway, it helps load time), you've just Halloween-ized your whole site very easily.
It's cool to add content to your site that goes well with the event. If your site is about plants, add something about pumpkins. In my case, I'll be adding a few more pieces of vampire art to my Art Gallery, I've added the summary of the Halloween episode to my Teddy Ruxpin episode guide, and on Halloween I'll be putting up a big, new section about the great horror movie Stephen King's It! As a matter of fact, just because you're cool enough to read my article here, I'll put up an advance link to the great screen saver that I made based on It! Watch the 11th page of my movie section on Halloween for the link to the new section. Trust me, it'll be very cool!
Another thing that I've been doing to prepare my site for my favorite day is adding a spooky sound to every page. I'd advise embedding the small console version of the player in your site - it looks better than the regular version. Also, please, I beg of you, for the sake of sanity and good taste, don't make anything autoplay. If people want to hear it, they'll play it. Autoplay is very annoying on a site, and I heard that it can even mess up some people's systems. Count Creed of Castle Stonegate will personally spit in the cereal of anyone who abuses their webmaster power in this manner! Blah-ha-ha-ha!! Pick a good sound, embed the console and give your visitor the choice.
