CSS-Based Design

Creating Web sites with “cascading style sheets,” for the ultimate control of format, distinct from content (I also have experience with the Drupal “content management system”).

For the political talk shows on radio, TV, and the Internet hosted by Barry Gordon, the longest-serving president of the Screen Actors Guild, and produced by yours truly. Web site features many hours of indexed audio archives I created, for streaming or downloading shows, plus links to other sites with many additional hours of audio and video archives. Barry’s photo for his bio page — and for the e-mail header and previous Web site header — was taken and edited by yours truly.

NewsRap Archives.com

For select programs, with nationally known guests, of Barry Gordon’s talk show on Pasadena Community Access Corporation Channel 56. Web site features many hours of indexed Flash video archives I created. Note that the shows were originally recorded on DVDs or digital video tape; if the latter, the studio would transfer the show to a DVD. I “ripped” each show from the DVD and converted it to a Flash video file, which I embedded in a Web page, thus allowing the show to be “streamed” (actually, “progressively downloaded”) by over 98% of the world’s computers online.
