Flash and the Horrors of Flash

So I like Flash. I think it really helps a site stand out and it makes the site flow, but I have a huge problem with it. It starts with the University of Toledo labs. Seeing how Adobe updates their flash player so often, the University of Toledo is slow in updating their computers with the newer Adobe player, so that means a user cannot view a site with Flash. They cannot see certain elements in the website or they cannot see any of the website, if it is all done in Flash. This is bothersome!

If the University of Toledo is slow in updating, I am sure other Universities and Companies are too. What does this mean? It strictly means that as a designer or website owner with Flash, you lose some customers or viewers to your site. Many students at the University have no internet service were they live, so the labs at the University is the only place they can view the web.

So if you have Flash on your website you lose out on potential customers and viewers.

I have been debating the Issue of making a complete Flash site, but this settles it for me. I love Flash, but I do not love it that much to risk losing viewers (I need all the ones I can get).

So I will stick with HTML and CSS (which is another problem for older browsers).

Liberty Baptist Site is Up!!!`

It Has Been Eventful

I am sorry I have not posted on here in awhile, but Finals came up and then the Holidays. I am back, though. Ok... for starters Liberty Baptist Church site should go up later this week or the beginning of this week Lord willing. I am looking forward to it.

Hopefully...

Ok, hopefully I will switching blog sites and going to Wordpress' powerful blog engine. I will designing my blog, and writing some of the PHP tags in a couple days. So I will not have to use Blogger's default themes. I think I am going to make my blog a bit more abstract and colorful than my personal site... even though I love minimalism and my personal site. So clean... so whitespace.

Ok This is Stupid...

I try to keep this blog about design in all aspects, but this just riles me. Don Imus is back on the air which I am applauding (*clap* *clap* *clap*), I do not agree with what he says, but this is America, and he has the right to talk. What annoys me is the fact that Rev Al (aka "bigot jew-hating white-mongering self-proclaimed Black pope") has said that Imus' apology is good, therefore Rev Al is letting him go back to radio. Who do you think you are Al (I am dropping the Reverend part, sorry you don't deserve it)? Why do we have to ask Al and Jesse if we are being "racist"? And why are people even listening to this hypocrite? I don't know... we live in one messed up world.
