Creating a Clickable Image Map: Ideas for your Header Image

I spent most of the typhoon day today, apart from a small outage of power in the afternoon, working on small project for one of my clients at AgentsChat.com.

If you look closely, you’ll see that the area at the top, the header image has now got clickable areas with each clickable area linked to one of the categories of forums below. While clickable areas like that is hardly new, it did occur to me that making your header image clickable might be a good way to add extra navigation to your blog, and with clickable areas and tooltips showing information about each link, you get an extra chance to reach your visitors, and direct them to different places in your blog.

How do you do it? Continue reading

Typhoon Weather: October 5th and 6th.

I’m used to posting daily updates on this website, but unfortunately on October 5th~6th, Taiwan is facing a large and powerful Typhoon (or Tropical Storm) … It has heavy winds and rains, so it’s possible that my DSL connection to InvestorBlogger may be lost for a few days. We already have had most things canceled for the day, and possibly Sunday, too. One of the local coffee shops was open just downstairs from my apartment. I slipped down to buy a coffee, and got completely drenched in just a few minutes… That’s how heavy the rain is.

While I have lost my camera, I couldn’t make any typhoon movies, I’ll leave you with this video: So if you aren’t getting new posts, please bear with me and check out my past posts in the archive. Or search for your posts that might interest you, such as making money, etc.

Friday Quotation: Mahatma Gandhi

Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviours.
Keep your behaviours positive, because your behaviours become your habits.
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948).

This quotation is never more appropriate as the foundation of one’s health (mental, physical and spiritual), one’s social wealth (family, friends, society, etc.) and one’s material wealth (money, assets and income) are all directly related to our habits. So, pause for five minutes today, and ponder the impact of his words on whatever problems you have. And remember: keep it positive.
