Digital Picture Frame vs JavaScript Slideshow

Ever wondered what operating system is powering the rotating images within a digital picture frame? If you think about it, all it takes is a few lines of code and you can make images rotate as in a JavaScript slideshow or the rotating header on our current site.

I was shopping around for a DPF, and found Sony DPF-D70 review on digital picture frame reviews, a site powered by WordPress. In reading some of it’s features, it occurred to me that there is a lot for me to learn from it. For example, it has a feature that allows the images to resize to fit the aspect ratio of the frame. Imagine this scenario in a CSS styled site. It would account for a completely fluid design where every style is a percentage and no absolute values. Why is this important? With the growing screen size and resolution, this might be the norm that we will all need to conform in future web design.

Getting back to the digital picture frame buyer’s guide, the reviewer compares features that include color options, screen resolution, video display options, connectivity, file transfer method, multimedia support, etc. that makes it a breeze to find the one you are looking for. In speaking with the author of the site, we learned that the site will be populated with new reviews since the site is relatively new. By the end of the conversation, I actually volunteered to help him with WordPress support, although the design is not one of ours.

    Wirelesspictureframe.com is also a Wordpress blog; that is where I get all of my information about my latest obsesesion, the wireless digital picture frame. I love mine so much! It’s the first thing (after the humans and the cats, that is) that I’d rescue if my house caught fire.
