As I was reading the latest of many blogs I follow some new techniques are being experimented with in adding a hover element to a CSS based navigation menu. Hovering over the menu items causes an overview to expand and show over the top of page elements, seamlessly. In this menu overview it highlights a sentence or to in regards to what that menu element links to, so hovering over the home option could result in a sentence describing that this is the sites homepage. While home may be self explanatory, a menu element such as services could allow you to list or display dynamically your top sellers, so they know what products you offer before you get to that page. This is a great way to make your navigation more user friendly and add a little bit more of an SEO element to your menu.
Plus the dynamic menu is handled all in JavaScript so its 100% SEO friendly. This is something we will be playing around with in the Angelsgeek Labs and hope to have a working demo very soon.

ANGELSGEEK
I am Angelsgeek, and if you know me personal or know of my grand tale then you know why I am referred to as Angelsgeek and why that has so much meaning to me. It is something I am proud of and something I am glad to carry into my work. If you participate in any of the various programming/computer/hacking forums and you come across a username of Angelsgeek chances are that is my handle. I do participate in many forums, several of which include:
- Dream.In.Code
- HackThisSite
- God Bit
- Christian Webmasters
- Search Engine Land
- Sphinn
I have been programming since I was only 13 years old, although all of my life I have been fascinated with computers, games and how they work and how I can change them to fit my personal needs. I started by learning HTML back when Hypercard bored me in school, and I have been working to improve my skills ever since then. I currently practice and know HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Python, Java and I am in the process of learning Ajax and C#.
In general I am an all around computer geek who loves to program and loves to spend time with family.
Welcome to Angelsgeek Today, our companies blog about this, that and the other. We use this blog as a means to share information with you our readers.
Our employees will post topics about whatever they desire, as long as it is PG rated of course, which can range from topics on advanced programming, to local community events.
We use this blog as a means to allow you to see what we are like as people and as a development company, so please leave any comments you wish, feedback, and suggestions for future blog topics.
This website, www.angelsgeek.org, is a business website as well as an educational website. Our growing skills of our programmers allows them to work on our website as if it was a piece of software and we treat it as such. As our programmers learn new skills, develop new features we release them on our site, and as such we always have an ever improving website.
Our version number is always increasing and while this is nothing to watch for, it does mean something new was done to our website. Most of the time we only note the changes, unless it is something major, then we will release a detail blog post.
Again our website is here to showcase our talents and skills as well as allow our newbie programmers a place to play, as we experiment on our site and not those of sites we do work for.
