Welcome to the Brett Lischalk Productions blog.  After a few months of development the Brett Lischalk Productions website has undergone a complete overhaul implementing the Drupal content management system.  Please feel free to look around and check out some of the sites new features.

So for quite sometime now I have been using javascript to manipulate elements of a website such as rotating an image upon the loading of a page.  Up until now it has worked just fine, but lately I have been bothered by the fact that you first see a placeholder image while a page loads and once the page has loaded, javascript kicks in and switches out the picture to the new image. 

So if anyone has ever tried to install the Magento E-commerce application on a godaddy server they may have encountered a few problems.  This is an outline of things to watch out for when installing Magento on a Godaddy linux server.

I have recently been working with a lot of javascript and php libraries and thought that I might list a few for anyone who would be interested.  From what i have been reading around the internet there seems to be a heated debate over whether or not using javascript and php libraries is a "crutch" for web developers or a just great time saving tool.  What are your thoughts?

• A nice use of Mootools transitions to create a photo viewer.
• A jquery image slider script
