Behaviors on my site, just a little late....

So although I am a little late on this post, I feel like its better to have the behaviors working before I link to them as an example of my work. Sooo first thing first. Swap Image and open new window are in the same link. I thought it would be cool to incorporate the both. I have it on my homepage on the left hand side nav bar. I tried to have it on my published work page but it would not work. Something happened and neither Maeve or myself could figure it out. I did a pop up window and play a sound on my Links Page. I think it works well the pop up window lets everyone that all the links open in a new window, and the sound... well I just used that for entertainment. I made it myself in garageband. I used jump menus on all of my pages. I put it on the upper right hand corner of the page. It works well as an alternate form of navigation.


Most of these behaviors are used on journalistic sites. The open new browser window is used on site to illustrate more info or for movies and slide shows. An example is the Gallery of pope John Paul II early childhood. The link is on the left "Gallery: His Life"
Kodi's example of Swap on his Nyc24.org article is a good one. Jump menus are a good way to navigate to another article about a similar subject or to personalize a page. I think the one that works the least is sounds. Clicks sounds and sound bites I think add the least to a page. Audio clips of speeches i think work well however.

Thats all I for now..... hopefully i will be better with the coming blogs.
