The joy of Wix Flash Animation

Did I say I liked Wix?

Well it does mean that I don't have to bother learning Flash, can import all other sites I add photos or comments to, animates them and then changes them in a place I don't even need to log into.

Damn right I like Wix.

It's basically a platform for Flash. Flash is a program for making images like photos, logos or titles move on whatever screen you're viewing your content through.

I've now animated all my blog posts, all my twitter tweets and all my Picasa photos.

It still uses the same protocols as flash but you don't have to know how it works. All you need to know is what size you want your posts to be so they fit when you paste them. True it can slow down if you're using large images and doesn't have the fine tuning of action script but it's damn close and saved me having to spend my early 40s learning something I may never need again and that makes it very valuable because I can now go watch films and enjoy family life rather than spend it on a computer of any kind. And don't forget, the main thing the main thing the internet saves you is:
time.
