What is Time / Date related content?
Time / Date related content is content (text and images usually, but can also include sound, video and other multimedia) which is controlled by time constraints. They can be limited to appear for only a certain length of time, they can be activated by a certain event or they may even BE the event. Plexus 2k normally use a copyright script which states:
© Copyright Plexus 2k 1984 - [Whatever the year is now].
This prevents us having to update all of the pages we have designed since 1984 (and believe me - there are a LOT)!!
In this example:
Plexus 2k used Time / Date related content techniques to change the Magic2k logo on http://www.magic2k.com. This picks out the beginning and end of certain annual periods (as well as full moons and special events) and updates the site automatically.
This saves effort by allowing Plexus 2k to do all the necessary changes in one go, rather than having to log on at midnight on Christmas morning to wish the Magic2k visitors merry christmas (something that we're not too keen on doing - as much as we love them...)
Below are some of the logos that Plexus 2k have created for these changes:
The main page in this example shows the result of the calendar submissions. If no events are saved for that day it will tell you "No events have been recorded for today".
