@everyone. Thanks.
@Paul. The magazine itself didn’t take a lot of time, but the embedding it in wordpress proved very difficult. The way I did it finally was my back up option, I didn’t want to publish it elsewhere and embed it, I had my own magazine converted to a flash object, but it would have made the readers download the ActivX plug-in if they were using internet explorer. If I have to download something to view stuff I usually skip it, I didn’t want that to happen for the festival, so tried really hard to somehow not make people download Activx plugin. Oh well…
It looks pretty cool; too bad the technology was not as easy as it should be.
Thanks for hosting and including my article.
