Rotolo Media Announces New Church Website Program

Rotolo Media is pleased to announce a new addition to the core services we offer. As many of you know, Michael Rotolo the President and Chief Creative of Rotolo Media is an avid Christian, and as such is thrilled to announce our new Church Website program.

This program will allow churches of all sizes and budgets to equip themselves with a world-class website at an extremely reasonable price point. Entry is low with packages beginning at $249 for the minimum 3 page website. A particularly exciting part of the more robust implementations is an integrated Content Management System allowing the client to make most changes, additions, and updates to their website themselves.

This freedom allows the client greater control over their website in terms of immediate access and ability to make these changes as well as the cost savings to them by avoiding the need to have Rotolo Media make such regular and frequent content changes.

Naturally, Rotolo Media will always be available to make larger updates to the websites such as adding significant new features, major format changes, integrations with third-party services or websites, etc.

We look forward to seeing God glorified by the ability to create an exciting public face to your church or ministry that will create additional interest in your organization and draw new people to either visit or support you.

Rotolo Media Developes Brigitte Designs Website

When Dave and Brigitte Stetson, owners of Brigitte Designs, an upscale line of colorful sapphire jewelry, wanted a web presence they hired Michael Rotolo. Clean and simple was the order of the day for Brigitte Designs, so that the exquisite jewelry could have center stage. More a brochure-wear project than an ecommerce site the Brigitte website’s goal was to provide a venue for a display of their gorgeous color graduated natural sapphire pieces and stunning brilliant solitaire designs. The users can click on any piece for a larger-than-life photo from which all the fine details of any Brigitte Designs piece can be seen. Because these offerings, though reasonable for what they, are pricier than your typical commodity sapphire pieces, the Stetsons chose to generate interest through the stunning photography and chose rather than display the pricing on the website, to encourage would-be buyers to call them to discuss their line personally. Having seen these beautiful pieces personally Michael Rotolo would also encourage anyone looking for a truly unique and gorgeous piece of jewelry to contact Brigitte Designs.

Background Audio or Music Not Playing in Firefox Browser Problem

I'm posting this because this problem drove me crazy for a while.

Namely--

I wrote a webpage with embedded audio using bgsound; it played fine in IE but NOT in Firefox.

I searched high and low for a fix and most posts dealing with this issue were dealing with it from the point of view of the Firefox-user going to a page with embedded sound and not hearing it play.

This struck me as odd since if a page has embedded audio and you don't hear it play then how do you know that you've got a problem? Reminds me of the age old question-- If a tree falls in a deserted forest does it still make a sound?).

I mean if the problem was that it played badly-- stuttering or faint or something like that, then you would know you had a problem but if it doesn't play at all?

Well for those Firefox users who want to know with certainty that any page with embedded audio will play that audio file then the solution seems to require a Greasemonkey add-on found here GREASEMONKEY ADD-ON (also see this LINK ).


BUT, This post is for the webmastering side of the issue which is simply this:

IF YOU WANT ANY USER (both IE and Firefox users) TO BE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR EMBEDDED BACKGROUND SOUND THEN DO NOT USE bgsound (only) BUT CODE IT THIS WAY:

(NOTE: Replace the 2 occurrences of "your-file.mp3" in the below code snippet with the url of your actual file).

Here's your code ________________________________________________


<!-- START SOUND CODE, DELETE TO REMOVE -->
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
document.write('&ltbgsound src="your-file.mp3" LOOP="false">');
}
else {
document.write('<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" Name="MediaPlayer" src="your-file.mp3" AutoStart="true" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowControls="0" ShowDisplay="0" volume="1" HEIGHT="1" WIDTH="1" loop="false"><br>');
}
// End -->
</script>
<!-- END SOUND CODE -->
