A note about pagination

Published on Dec 28, 2008

I had a number of complaints that Top 50 Movie Trips had so many embedded videos that a lot of people had trouble loading it. If I chop up a video-heavy list as big as Top 50 movie special effects shots into 5 (more easily loadable) parts, then there will be complaints that I'm over-paginating it for extra hits.

But if I embed all the videos on one page, you'll need Deep Thought and 6gb of RAM just to load the page at all. Bit of a 'lose-lose' situation.

So I've decided to put the entire Top 50 movie special effects shots on one page (the preferred method at Den Of Geek) and link to the video pages. That way your processor doesn't burn out and you just see the vids that interest you. It's the best compromise I can find. We too hate huge lists where you can't find out what number one is without clicking every 'next' link in a huge slide-show, so hopefully this is an acceptable alternative.
