Mark Headrick’s BlogI actually bought Beowulf: The Director’s Cut back on March 6th or so but just now getting around to adding it to my website here. I had not seen it in the theater and actually did not realize it was completely done in CGI with actor driver motion capture performances. They did a really good job. If you haven’t seen it, I did put a flash video trailer on the page.
I actually got these for Christmas but just now added the last one to the website. They are:
In addition to the front case cover, I have started including trailers for new movies I add to the site. They are flash videos so if you can view YouTube videos, then you will be able to view these. As usual I don’t really say that much about the movies because if I didn’t think they were good or didn’t enjoy them, I wouldn’t have them. 
I have added the 300 2-Disc Special Edition Widescreen to my DVD movie collection. It’s an awesome movie! I have also added a NASCAR upcoming race javascript widget thingamabob to both the blog on the right side and to my NASCAR page. Actually it’s been there for awhile now. I have also temporarily disabled additions to my guestbook and renamed the associated pages and scripts to see if I can get my guestbook off whatever list it must be on. Due the wide range of IP addresses these comment spam bots are coming from, many are probably people’s infected PCs or something.
Oh, my thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the bridge collapse in Minnesota. 
While I was out at Wal-Mart shopping for lightbulbs, I decided to go check the DVD new releases and saw that Ghost Rider was out. So, I picked up the 2-Disc Extended Cut Widescreen version! I have added a Ghost Rider page to my website along with a HiRes and LoRes flash version of the movie trailer on the same page. Concerning movie trailers, I am slowly going through my DVD pages and adding the trailers to them. So far I’ve added the ones for Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Gladiator, X-Men, and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I’ve been using 320 x 240 at 360bps and 480 x 360 at 768bps. Since my folks have about the slowest broadband connection available (768/384), I will see if I need to keep making the LoRes version when I go down there this weekend.
Well, I believe that I have converted all my pages to be in Standards mode now. Along the way, a fair amount of code was cleaned up and corrected. I have also removed any dead links that I came across and tried to find alternative links if possible. Man, I had a couple pages that had some really messed up code in them. I was surprised they rendered correctly.
While I was reading the If you had the chance to own any domain name thread at my webhost’s forum, I thought about markrh.com since I use MarkRH as a username in just about every forum and website I register on. Went to godaddy.com to check it out and whattya know, it was available. So, I now have www.markrh.com which is parked at www.markheadrick.com. 
My next challenge with my site is to figure out how I can get rid of these frames and still have an embedded media player that doesn’t reload with everypage. I tried IFRAMEs before but that didn’t work. If I somehow figured out a way, I’ll of course have to change every page in my site 
Ack!! I forgot about my DVD Movie pages LOL. Okay, so I’m not done yet.
Update: I finished all my DVD Movie pages. I also realized I was using the wrong DOCTYPE so I corrected it on all my pages including at www.pelicar.info They are all now (let’s see if I can remember the method for showing this code):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
I really like that Wordpress Plug-In, makes displaying in-line code much easier and neat looking.
