Small Redesign

2006-01-13T01:40:00.000+01:00

The CSS was a little edited, now html is lightblue and the div::content is white, the feedback-box at the bottom was moved to www.s5easy.com/feedback/ only the arrow remains. I cutted also the content of the homepage. It focuses now more on the key features, in my opinion. Perhaps Im wrong!?

Each to his own

2005-12-10T03:19:00.000+01:00

Today, and yesterday night I did some Apache rewrite magic: Now every browser request for an presentation is rewriten to a standardized URL. For example, http://s5easy.com/123 becames http://www.s5easy.com/123/ (www and trailing / has been added). With this clear buildup it is possible to use different templates.

Slideshow != Presentation

2005-11-28T13:01:00.000+01:00

Today I realised, that the translation (I'm german) of slideshow is not the same as presentation. So I have to change all occurrences of "slideshow" on my website with "presentation". But wait, why is S5 called "simple standards-based slide show system"? Is this a closer description of what it is? I'm a little bit confusend now.
