OMG I finally made a webpage with video built into it that works on a ipad too!

I think the title says it all.

I don’t know how I did it, and yes, I am aware that this capability has existed for like a decade, but check out my new introduction page to my website…

So this fulfills my promise to myself to ramp up the quality of the preview/free/teaser part of my website.

And to be honest, I actually enjoyed doing this. I will confess that for a while I wasn’t enjoying making webpages.  Everything seemed to be coming out broken, I felt hopelessly behind the curve, whatever.  And I know there’s plenty more work that can be done.  Integrating built in video to my video section in the members part of my site would be a logical next step.

And for some crazy reason, because I swear what I was doing was involving flash or something- this whole intro page with the built in video (and yes, I know it’s annoying that on some browsers it auto-starts), actually works on an ipad, where you can blow up the size of the video and see it full ipad size.  Which I’m overjoyed to see it working at all on something built in this decade!  The same sorta hold true with iphone though it doesn’t seem to want to play the video with all the background grahphics next to it, but it just zooms in on it and still works okay.

Now to test it on a PC and on some Android devices.  I don’t ask to be state of the art, just that my webpages work on a majority of devices, and still work on stuff that’s older because you never really know what the customers are using (though I know you can look at your stats and find out).
