rssfwd is dead. Substitute something like http://www.feedmyinbox.com/ and it should work.

heh heh. i last used ‘Find the Place’ about 35 years ago. it wasn’t just for the UK, it was the whole world. i still look back and hate it. it was about locating little dots within a large irregular shape. if you didn’t already know exactly where these dots went then you couldn’t learn it unless you were good at positioning little dots within large irregular shapes. bugger all to do with geography. god how i hated that book.

Comment on image rollover in wordpress, no plugins required by rc

That’s ok, and just so you know the CSS preload you suggested does work just great in Wordpress (at least as of right now on v2.9.1)… just a small line to enter in template’s CSS file and then have to list the specific images you want to preload for that post in code at the bottom of your post (this code will be invisible)… it’s a little more work but not too bad and really your javascript code was the simplest and easiest I could find and seems to work great in all the main browsers.

No idea, rc. Preload would be great, but my knowledge of such things is limited. This really was a five-minute post to see if I could help out my friend with his blog. I suppose you could combine it with some kind of CSS preload, or something more fancy with jQuery.

any idea if there’s a way to get this method to preload the rollovers? I’ve used it but with photos brought in from Flickr and the load time is quite slow (at least on my slower connection), so on first mousing over you don’t even realize there’s a rollover that will work if you just hold your mouse over the photo for a little longer…

thanks for this though, otherwise it works great
