Sean's Advent Calendar 2006
30 November 2006
Count down to Christmas with my advent calendar. If you miss a day, you can go back to open previous doors, but if I have any bandwidth problems that feature will be disabled.
There's a different surprise behind each door, including exclusive MP3s, videos and games. There are also a couple of festive versions of my own games behind the doors. With thanks to the many content providers who have made this possible.
Happy Christmas!

I've added an RSS feed to this site, so that you can keep up with this blog from the comfort of your own news reader. RSS readers enable you to gather headlines and content from different sources in one place. The latest version of Google Reader is free and well worth checking out.
Free javascript advent calendar for your website
I've created an advent calendar script which you can post on your website. It uses Javascript, which is easy for anyone to edit who knows a bit about HTML. You don't need anything special on the server, either. It should work anywhere webpages work.The code includes instructions on how to customise it. As well as putting your own image in the background, you can change the positioning of the doors. Each door opens a new window, so you can use it to share anything you can put online, including music, video and games. There's a rudimentary date check to prevent people peeking early.
This script is being posted nice and early so others have time to install it on their websites for this Christmas. Nearer December, I will be launching this site's own Christmas 2006 calendar, packed with 24 digital surprises.
