html image mapping.. is it used in the web? part1

Image mapping is an interesting method of breaking down an image to display added information  like clicking to a link or offering more specific details on an image.

The common way it seeems to be used is by breaking the image and by hovering specific areas shows a specific detail for that area.  Recently I have come acrossed this method to try to recreate this nifty annotation widget I saw on a blogging site.  What the annotation does is it allows the user to click an area of the image and take a snapshot of it where the user can make a comment of that particular detail on the image.  Another way this is used where everyone is familiar with is the facebook photo tagging.

In my circumstance I mapped an image of a car, detailing each car part.  So when the user creates a snapshot it will also include the name of the part.

I'm still experimenting the whole thing.. more to come later.

AnkhSVN.. i can't remember everything.

This is a great free subversion program!

So how do I show SVN on Visual Studio?



1. Go to Tools > Options > Source Control > Plugin selection

2. Select "AnkhSVN – Subversion Support for Visual Studio"

3. Then press OK

done.
