My site is going to be pretty image heavy, and I wanted to find away to annotate the images and analyze them. The ideal method would be to figure out a way to pull in images from my flickr page and utilize its note adding capapbilities. However, this involves understanding API’s and all sorts of coding that is way, way out of my league.
So I settled on a method using CSS that I found at CSSplay. After tinkering with the code a little bit, I really liked the results I got. You can see it here. I’s love for some feedback!
Unfortunately, my notation does not appear in IE6. The author, Stu Nicholls, claims, and demonstrates, that this method should work. So something must have gone awry when I hacked his code up a little to make it suit my site better. Fortunately, Nicholls has a few other examples available, and hopefully I will either be able to fix the first method or use one of these successfully.
I offered some appreciation and suggestions for Steve, Mark this week.

Cool idea, Ken. I like it. I wonder if you couldn’t find a way to have the “analysis” and close-up of that particular area hover over your image. With a border and possibly other effects, this could work really well. I don’t know if this is part of a real project for you, but if so, you may want to consider adding some more text to provide more context. I also am not clear if this is your home page or if it is one of the modules. You may want to add some sort of breadcrumb to show people where they are in the site.

Bitchin’ Ken. Where can I find more info on CSS play. I’d love to add more images to the site I’m working on, but couldn’t figure out how to do it…this might be the trick.
Ken–I owe my whole site to you and your wizardry. Thanks again…
