Photo of the Day Javascript

I developed this Photo of the Day script a long time ago. What it does is that it displays a particular image for a certain day of the month. The code is very elementary javascript.

<script>
<!--
<!--Photo of the Day Script developed by: Eliza Magno (elizakirsten@gmail.com)-->
var grabDate = new Date(); //gets the date
var datex = grabDate.getDate(); //assigns date to variable
var monthx= grabDate.getMonth(); // assigns month to variable
var yearx = grabDate.getYear(); // assigns year to variable
monthx= monthx+1;


//next line of code finds and displays the image with a filename
//that corresponds to the present date, example: on january 1 the
//code will find 1.jpg in your images folder

document.write('<a href="images/'+datex+'.jpg" target=_blank><img src="images/'+datex+'.jpg" width=190 border=0></a>')
     

//next line of code displays the month/date     
document.write('<font color="#717070"><br>'+monthx+'/'+datex+'</font>')
     
//-->
</script>

This script can be seen in action at Living Asia Channel.

I have just recently signed up for a domain and host. I figure I need it for my work and other stuff. I'm really quite excited and would like to try out Drupal for my CMS. Once I've had some time to tinker with it, of course, I will naturally move on to making Drupal themes. I hear its very easy to configure. I checked the web server's system specs and Drupal 6 should be able to run on it. Drupal just recently won the Best PHP Open Source CMS award from Packt Publishing.

I pray that the hosting service really delivers. I would like to be able to test a number of CMS on it. Currently, I have a few in mind:

• Zen Cart ( Very popular with small online merchants)
• Coppermine (Simple and functional photo gallery)
• Webcalendar (Calendar/scheduling system)

To test CMS without having to install them on your own webhost go to OpenSourceCMS.com

Random Design

This was made with a pen tool, took a little bit of tinkering with the blending options, and used the brush tool for the lighter shades. Real fun and easy to do.

Me + Back in Blogger

I am a freelance web/graphic designer with a new found love : Blogger templates. It actually is not so new since according to my old account, my very first post is dated February 2002, valentine's Day. My blog was hosted at Xoom.com -- formerly a free web hosting service, now they do remittance! My blog was usually contained in an iframe, as I ceaselessly revamped my page layout every single time I felt like it -- which was very often.

Internet Explorer's "View Page Source" was my best friend. I deconstructed HTML codes some time in the late 90's only to reconstruct them again in Netscape Editor or in the ever reliable Notepad text editor. Since then, my love for web/design has blossomed. Now, roughly 10 years later, I am still coding, a bit more formally trained, and firm on keeping with the latest standards .

Coding is fun! It is tedious work, but... FUN! I must say that designing is something that I love more than coding. I've had 4 years work experience as a freelance web/graphic designer. There's still so much learn though. Actually, everyday there is something to be figured out and I enjoy doing it.
