Email me form - microformat

Today I have been working on getting my pages uploaded and doing some basic testing to check that all the links work and my thank you page comes up when I use the contact me form that I have put in. I used what is essence (at least I think it is) a microformat for Email forms. It has helped me add an anti-spam filter by adding a verification step to any emails that are sent through. This helps to stop spamming services from using these as the verfication code changes and needs to be input again each time you send an email. The place I found the most help with this was at: http://www.emailmeform.com/?page=cphome where like the hresume microformat I used it allows you to input the information that you want and then generates the code so that you can copy and paste into your own web page. I am also using their emailing facility to push the messages onto my inbox where I can pick them up. I have done quite a few tests to make sure that this all is working and had to backtrack a bit because I wanted to create my own Thank you page. This meant redoing the Contact Me form and adding the link after I had created my own page. I did this so that the whole website (apart from the online resume) has the same overall look and feel. I think this is important as it demonstrates the look and feel that I am trying to achieve. For anyone looking for a Contact Me form with verification. I would recommend using this as it also validates! I do need to add the additional page into my site map and system plan as it was not something I considered before I walked through adding the Contact Me page.
I am still having quite a bit of trouble with my photo gallery and am going to need to seek some help with this. The JavaScript is just not switching the images out at all. I have put all the images into an 'image' folder and this is something that I have had issues with before. I will have to try again tomorrow to see what I can do about.

JavaScript & the photogallery

I have been working on including a bit of JavaScript into my project and have finally managed to get some of it working. I have used JavaScript for my photogallery to offer some interactivity to my website. I originally just uploaded the photographs in the file format I had taken them in but discovered that this is too bulky so have compressed the files down and reduced the size to small web size to make this work alot better. I may struggle to produce the thumbnails I need as I haven't got access to photoshop at home. I am going to do a bit more research and see if there is another way to do this.
I have basically been tidying up my code in the last few days and running it through the W3C Validation tool to work out the issues and debug. This has proved to be very useful and is helping me to make sure that what I am producing really works. It helped me sort out the following pages: Photogallery, Home page, portfolio space and the PDF resume page. I will be continuing to do this as I go to make sure that errors don't creep into my code.
I have also been considering my Contact Me page and have come to the realisation that I won't actually need to use PHP and MySQL for this page. I only want people to email me from the page, not to store their information as this will come through via the email. I therefore will amend my system plan accordingly and not include this technology in these pages.
