Photoblog theme

Hello all, just posting to get a little bit of feedback.. now that I have the layout almost finished I figured I would look for some feedback/ideas about the theme while I am creating it.

The idea behind the theme is a photo blog. Not sure how in the end how it is all gonna work but I am gonna give it a shot.. Other than some stuff that doesnt look right in IE(what else is new) and some of the stuff is actually hard coded(as opposed to dynamic text).. any ideas, thoughts, suggestions..

Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Looks great to me. Only suggestions I have (which are most likely already on your list of things to do) are:
    • Put a space between the date and the month name and the year
    • Maybe have a little bit of a bigger margin on the right side of the thumbnail so the album/image description isn't so close -- maybe make it the same as on the left side.

    Other than that, it looks great. I love the colors that you've chosen, too.

    Yes the date is gonna change.. right now that part is hard coded because I cannot get printAlbumDate to work. and the spacing after the thumbnail I should change.. I (just before posting it up here) moved it away from the side of the photo(3px) and yeah I should move it away evenly (5px)

    Other things I plan on doing is adding some scriptaculious image effects/dropdowns. Dropping in some EXIF on the image page, getting navigation on the image page finished and adding like some cutesy stuff like technorati, and delicious plugs on it

    Funny you mention the colors. That was one thing I was unsure I liked about it. I am thinking I may release it with multiple text colors.

    another odd thing.. Tris.. with your adsense.. you should do configure your competitive filters, on the top of this while I am writing this is an add for googles picasa and also there are occasionally other online photoalbum services that show up on the adds on this site...

    remove what info.. do i have some stuff up there that shouldnt be or did you edit your post????

    Alright.. I am getting closer.. anybody with any feedback on how it looks, moves, feels. Other than my slide down area text formatting(which is currently plain) anybody got anything to say.

    I think the "filed under" links on the index and album pages are kind of redundent. You got the Title of the album right there, and then another link on the image. The extra link is just sort of distracting. Plus it makes me think its going to take me to a tag archive page or maybe some magical place with unicorns and rainbows but then it just dumps me in the album page, which is what all the other links do already.

    Other than that, I like it! its clean and simple. I like the choice of magenta text, smooth.

    Yeah.. I had all these ideas and now I am left with all these places where I wanted to put something like livesearch, tags, and a couple other things. Thank you for the feedback. ... I am trying to develope a general search for zenphoto which I hope to plug into it but as my php is getting better.. my sql needs some work. oh well.. any other ideas anybody... ?
