First off, I have managed to get my videos back working again on my video site, the reason they had stopped working was because YouTube had changed there api code, but now a fix is now in place to handle this change in code.

Here is a funny video made by the 'BaaStuds', its a really funny and creative way to make taking care of sheep more fun!

Entertainment Clam Video Problem

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 26th, 2009 | 0 Comments

I noticed today that YouTube had been changing a few things to do with layout on there site, but what i didnt know was that they changed there bloody embeding code for linking to other sites. This will only affect people who are linking to videos that are not meant to be linked to like most of the videos on my entertainment site

The reason my videos have stopped playing is not my fault, i am running a script called Php Melody, and they have made some mad script that allows me to add laods of videos with a click of a button, even if it says you cannot embed it, i can!

I have sent off an e-mail to support to see what the story is with them releasing a patch to fix this, i expect an e-mail by tomorrow telling me, they are usually very fast at responding. Last time youtube changed there code, a patch was released really quick, so hopefully this new change to youtube code will not be to difficult to hack or adjust too.

Playing About With Photoshop

Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 25th, 2009 | 0 Comments

Tonight i spent a few hours trying out different brushes and fonts and trying to get to grips with a few of the features that are in photoshop. I am not too good when it comes to the likes of photoshop, i know design is a very big part to do with building websites. If you can go to someone and quote them a price for a website you want to be able to say i can design and code it for 'X' amount of money. You dont want to have to say well i can code it but you need someone else to design it, sure it would be ok to do that but it would look better if you could provide the full package when choosing to build a website for someone.

This is why i want to be able to use photoshop, so i can slowly learn how to do a few simple things that would really help out with the appearence of a website, such as nice glossy logos or banners. You can in fact design a full website template using photoshop, this would require a lot of work.

I went looking for some nice fonts and brushes tonight and found a few good sites with loads of different font types and brush types to choose from.

For some really great brushes i went to a website called Brusheezy, they have loads of brushes and patterns that you can download for free.

And for fonts i went to a site called ReFont.com, this site has hundreds of different fonts that cover a wide variety of categories from horror and retro to gothic and calligraphy and a lot more, its great for getting loads of free fonts.

I am at the moment trying to design a header for TheEntertainmentClam, that will not only be a logo but will have a full background of images that will suit the content on the website also.
