Photography blog

Done.

Thank you esmi,

I’ve been around to a few internet cafe’s and the site seems to load pretty fast. Appreciate everyones feedback.

If anyone else decides to check and notices it is slow to load i would really appreciate knowing your experience.

And please feel free to send suggestions if something stands out that would vastly strengthen the site.

Cheers.

You have beautiful work, but I’m concerned it is jeopardized by the confusing layout. Two many things distracted me as I was scrolling down. The shadow with the fork? Is this a photography or food site? The option to post and reply under the first set of images. Then you switch to a gallery style mode.

I suggest you explore other themes – there are so many gorgeous themes out there for photographers. Try to find something that keeps everyone at the top of the site – and with navigation, pages turn or images slide in an out. The fact that you have to scroll down so much on your site is not helping.

I use the Prestige Light theme sold at Theme Forest. My site is called DomainStick.com. This theme also comes in a dark version which would suit your style. That one in particular comes with hundreds of skins, so you can really customize the theme. Warning: while this is one of the best-selling themes, the guy who created it has not upgraded it to work with WP 3.1. We’re all waiting. I haven’t upgraded as a result. I wouldn’t worry about it – you can read the comment stream and get a sense of the loyal customers who still really appreciate what the theme has to offer.

You have gorgeous work and you should showcase it the best possible way. I love photography and am envious of people who have this type of talent. Do a quick search for Photography themes and find the right match…

best,

Robert

Thanks Robert.

I’ve made some changes based on the feedback here. Any other thought appreciated.

Thanks again.

I’ve just added custom scroll bars for comments using the jscrollpane wordpress plugin

I think blogs with a white background look fine with the browser generated scroll bars but anything with color looks much better if the scroll bars are customized to the look of the rest of the site.
