pixelmania: please review

The first thing I noticed is that the pixelmania header is cutoff in IE. The individual posts also don’t display well in IE.

Are you going to add lightbox or greybox of other css for displaying your images?

hi jwurster

i noticed the same problem but had no idea how to fix this …

what do you mean with lightbox or greybox ?

p.s.: i am using the following theme: water 3 1.0

aha i found it: you meant the lightbox/graybox plugin for image viewing….

no such plugins are not planned – they didn’t fit the overall page layout …

did anyone else have time to review the pixelmania photoblog?

a nice looking theme.. maybe a little too much white?

I can download that theme tonight and see if it is an easy fix.

The lightbox or whatever will allow your images to be displayed in something other than the browser window. I think that would make you photos display better.

hey this would be great if you could have a look on the IE issue.

hmm … i’ll think about these image-view plugins …

poerhaps you are right and they will support my photos …

thanks for your reply

love the look of the site, if only mine looked as neat ??

only thing i’ve noticed is the navigation – you’ve got pages/cat/archive drop links up the top, then basically duplicate them right away on the left hand side. personally i’d change that somehow.

and maybe put the “Filed under” and “posted by / comments” bits on new lines. most of the posts seem to have the meta spread on to 2 lines anyway, but half the time the posted by is on the right, then its on the left, then on the right again…

the search bar looks kinda oversised compared to the rest of the content on the right… you could change the input box border to blue too.

annndd, the whole site is blue & white, yet you’ve got a long black and white image in the footer. wouldn’t it look nicer if it was blue & white?

EDIT: just realised the above is probably all down to the theme. ah well…

hi pepsimax2k

first thankyou for your review.

your suggestion with the search bar is really good – i’ll try to change that …

to the black and white image: this is a monito calibration image – it must be black and white with special gray tones …

hi all i have change some things … so please can anyone review the page

thanks in advance

Hey wonderful blog mate.. I liked it and added it to my faviourites because I admire the photos etc.
But as someone suggested.. Try the lightbox OR greybox.. You can see an exampel on the first TWO pictures on my website where i have greybox on the first. and lightbox on the second. A very nice way to display pictures. However, they wont be in the size you want them to, but a specific size…

There you can view the pictures.. I am sure you can tweak it, how i have no idea though..! =)

hi romeon

thanks for your reply. cool that you like the page.

i looked at your page (btw it is a very good one) and tried out the pictures which you mentioned.

i’ll have a look at these plugins …

BR,
tmctiger

I agree about Lightbox. I would like to see the images even larger than your large version. You could have sequences of images using Lightbox which would suit your photos well.
