MomBike: The last minute online mother’s-day card for children who live out of town and have hosting space somewhere

May 9th, 2008

Okay, so last year I made my mom a web site for Mother’s Day. It’s at www.happymothersdaydonna.com , and it’s nothing extraordinary. If you’re reading this after Mother’s Day 2008, you can see what I did in 2007 here.

***SPOILER ALERT: If you, my mom, Donna Murphy, are reading this, and it’s not yet Mother’s Day, stop reading this now. Please. I mean it.***

So, yeah, this year I made another “card” for my mom, Donna. I lifted the inspiration (and parts of the oh-so-complicated CSS) from www.barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com . I wrote the script.

And now, I give it to you. All you need is your mom’s name, some inspiration, and a place on the web to upload a couple files (that place must support php). It’s a last minute online mother’s-day card. For you. I call it MomBike.

Download it here.

To use MomBike:

1. Change your mom’s name on line 15 of index.php .
2. Write the phrases you want displayed, one per line, in the words.txt file.
3. FTP both this file and words.txt to somewhere on the web.

And, if you’re not my mom, you can preview MomBike in action here.
