Flash Memory Game...Simple but Addicting

I really enjoy playing with HTML code in YH blogs. If for no other reason, it offers some visual distraction from the occasionally lackluster content of a particular entry (yah...like this one!) I’ve had trouble with this fixed border code ever since the first time I used it. It worked like a charm initially...before I decided to start perfecting it. But once I started chopping and destroying...I mean cutting and pasting...it’s been mucked up ever since. I’ve come to the conclusion it makes sense to try and actually understand at least a little of the code prior to altering or deleting parts of it. NOTE: I'm not even going to try and display the fixed border in here. First - the column would be reduced to virtually nothing except border, and second - I don't feel like going thru the effort of figuring out how to get it to work in b2evolution. My apologies in advance if this happens to bother anyone...but perhaps I'll do it on some other page on my site...just not here.

Follow up:

Warning! For those of you who think I actually know what I'm doing...truth is - I'm just not afraid to break the computer. Well...when I'm playing tech for someone else I'm usually more cautious than I might be on my own....but none the less, any advice you take from me is certainly at your own risk! I generally figure, if I mess something up there's a reasonably good chance I can fix it again...tho as you may remember from my Java experience - it may take me 8-10 hours to do it. Ah Java...seems I've not been the only one with Java issues lately...

But back to my fixed borders...I’ve admitted defeat, my tail between my legs, and reverted back to the original source code. Well, honestly I did make a few wee little teeny tiny tweaks here and there...but it IS still working and that's a plus!

So this post isn’t an entire waste of your time – here’s a cute little memory game to try out. (And yes, of course, it’s more embedded HTML!) These simple memory games can be SO addicting!! Good luck with it!

WHAT game ? Where ??

I will check the Pyzam site where I grabbed this and see if I can find any ideas why you can't see it.

If anyone tries to embed this kind of flash HTML use the codes for MySpace if you have an option, vs. the codes for "any other site". There's a lot more to the MySpace codes but apparently it's what's needed so everyone can view it!
