About the Show
We didn't have much to talk about today but we decided to post a show just for fun.
I edited a conversation Marc and I were having, down to the little bits for you to watch.
It was a random chat but we decided to make it into a something.

Thanks Simon. What we have been doing is changing the wording overall design of our ads on a weekly basis. The graph has followed an upward trend and I must say that if we had more budget we would experiment even more.
I would love to make an Obox pink ad (#f36) and just put a 'what is this doing here' link at the bottom right of it... but alas, we aren't that brave yet.
Static Internet banner advertisement are all still pretty standard. Who is going to push those boundaries?

Hi Guys not sure I understand your jquery hover problem. Jquery hover actions been doing the trick for me for a while.
$('#yourbutton').hover(function () { // on hover }, function () { // off hover });
The secret is obviously to swap the buttons css class on hover on or off. Maybe I'm totally missing the point but hell that's my 5 cents Ciao

@Jan - Thanks for the advice, however that's not what we're looking for per say.
For a regular hover state, we use css (eg. a:hover) but what I'm looking for is to get that state to fade in, timed along with my submenu, so that they're synchronised.

You're exactly right about rotating the ads. Using the same ads day after day just means that readers will get used to the design and stop clicking.

hehe quality quantent.. random comment for your random post.
Rotation of banners is good... My clients usually ask me to do looooads of banners for them so they can rotate them often. Good client.
