A combination of things

I was tasked last week with building…well, I don’t know what the hell to call it, but at work we named it “the wheel.” Basically, it is a circle with a bunch of gray icons around it. I needed to get them to change to blue, show a larger graphic with additional content, and change to the next icon after a certain amount of time. When one of the icons is clicked though, the animation has to stop, and show whatever content goes with that icon. I used setInterval to accomplish the rotation through the icons, and pretty much the same jQuery I used on the Portfolio Content Gallery I wrote about. You’ll get a better idea of what I am talking about if you see it. I sped up the rotation so you don’t have to wait as long.

I’m still learning Javascript/jQuery, and I have never used setInterval before, so this was a lesson for me as well. Turns out it is actually pretty easy, but I thought I would show you how to accomplish this so you don’t have to do any ridiculous searches like I did.

Been very busy

First, apologies to my subscribers for not writing a lot recently, but I have been working some overtime, and redesigning my website’s interior pages. But I was working on my portfolio page and thought I would share what I have done. All in all, it is not overly complicated, but I like that it is clean and simple. You’ll also get to see the beginnings of my redesign of my interior pages (just keep in mind that it is not finished yet). Take a look at my new portfolio page so far:
