The new 76 Creative website is here! We have updated our portfolio and the design of the site itself. The incredibly popular Sound FX board is still there, and is now joined by the extremely cool (if I do say so myself) Artanoid - 76 Creative's take on the arcade classic Arkanoid. The site is built in PHP with flash elements.

This site, built for photographer Neil Stewart, is the first site 76 Creative have launched this year. Built with PHP, it features categorized thumbnail galleries, the usual biog, links and contact information, and also a moving image section with an embedded Flash Video (flv). All of the navigation for the site is done using images to create the hand written look that we were going for, it uses a javascript to give the mouseover effect for the images. For me, this is one of the best designed sites I have worked on so far, as it has a distinctive style, yet it's simple and functional.

The add_post_meta code would look something like this:

    Hi Johnbillion,
    update_post_meta is a tidier way, true. But the problem still remains that if you hook it in using add_action as stated above, there will be instances where the function is called even though the form hasn’t been submitted (i.e. the post/page hasn’t been edited), like when a comment is approved.

    Hello Sam ! Great site and content !!! I’m very impressed in the page nav with the + & - action to bring the subpages in view . Is this a plugin or something you’ve developed ?
