Cool new WordPress Plugin – Header Image Slider

I came across a really cool WordPress Plugin “Header Image Slider” to randomize the header images visitors see on my blog when someone accesses my website. Hit the refresh button on your browser and try it out.

Previously I’d update the header image manually every couple of months, now when someone visits they get a new image.

I use it to serve a random image but you can also use it to allow visitors to choose one themselves. Like so:

HTML5 Fragmentation

It seems my HTML5 predictions have started to come true. Google will no longer support H.264 video by default in it’s Chrome browser even though H.264 has seen wide implementation on the internet.

Google decided instead to focus on supporting WebM video though it doesn’t enjoy as wide implementation on the internet as H.264. This is obviously a political move on Googles part and has resulted in the term “HTML5 Fragmentation” being coined on the interwebs…

Microsoft upon hearing this announcement however rode to the rescue and released a Chrome browser extension that re-enables H.254 video in Chrome

You can get that extension hereThanks – You’re welcome…
