But don't get me wrong... I love 2007 and I love web 2.0 because without it I couldn't share my favorite songs with you!!! I have to admit though... it is getting a little mind boggling. :)

I can do a lot more than clickable pictures…

Madhur, you have to remember good buddy that I am old school and a major Web 1.0 Junkie.

Before there was WordPress, BB Code, and WYSIWYG I had NOTEPAD.EXE

Most of my posts are actually written in HTML code and copied and pasted into WordPress. A few months ago I started using Windows Live Writer Beta which isn’t too bad because that is one of the only programs I am somewhat satisfied with the written HTML code generated from the program. For advanced stuff I still write code by hand. Sometimes I open up my trusty Front Page. The clickable images are really simple, its an old school technology called image mapping and has been used for close to ten years now. Google it and give it a shot… it would be cool to give a re-birth to a retro web 1.0 technology!

Hi Garry , how did you make these clickable pictures ?

I am glad you like the clickable pictures. I do the same thing for my banner advertisements. Folks can sign up for one banner ad and get multiple sections of their site seen all in one banner. It’s pretty cool. It’s like having five advertisements for the price of one.

Pretty busy day today… Had John Chow as well as Patrick Gavin paid my site a visit… pretty cool!

Wow, I like how you made the pictures clickable. They even show up in the feed!

Just in case your readers didn’t know, Patrick Gavin is also the founder of Text Link Ads (I believe). You probably knew that already!

This is a good way to reward readers for clicking through and actually generating a page visit!
