Crawling background

Here is one of those “I wonder if I can do it” projects. I’m reading about background images and I see that the position can be adjusted pixel by pixel. If I can do that, I can make the image move. Already, I’m so focused on the technical details that I’m not even considering whether this is a good idea or not.

Of course, the Blogger platform doesn’t co-operate. But I’m also reading about inline frames, which is a way to display a piece of one web page on another. So I put the crawling image on another server, and display it in an inline frame in this post. Maybe I can use the same techniques for something useful.

Here is a widget from Slide.com. You can upload a bunch of photos and they will make a slide show for you and give you the code to drop into your blog. There are other ways to make slide shows, but this was relatively painless.
