For the first time in ten months, I finally finished my photo site’s layout! I’ve finished customzing textpattern to my needs on my photosite/photoblog. I still have some work to do on categories for a gallery style section, but that’s for a later date…
Thanks,
JM

Re: jmdeldin.com
I really like the simplicity of the site, JM. I do have one suggestion for you though! I think you should put a link down by your arrows on the front page that will show all of the thumbnails. I wouldn’t have known that I could view them all at once unless I had clicked on “Gallery” up at the top. Maybe something like “View All” or “All” or a little graphics that has several boxes that might indicate that they can view them at once as thumbnails. Just my $0.02. Good luck with the site!
P.S.- I love this picture!

Thanks! While I liked the previous design, I wanted to do something different and actually use graphics and gradients. I don’t know why, but for the past year I’ve had this fear of placing imagery into my site.
I’d like your input on the following:
- Does it feel too “cramped” on the single photo pages?
- Should pagination be added to the thumbnails page? Maybe at every 30 photos.
Issues:
- Opera 8 hides the logotype. I need to edit the z-index again (it was working for a week). Opera 9 is fine.
- IE7b2 still suffers from the same bugs as IE6, so it’s getting a separate stylesheet. Guess MS didn’t fix much as far as positioning goes. IE does space out the border occasionally, but it’s not a huge worry (I’m lazy).

Re: jmdeldin.com
I think it’s fairly straight forward,nice work, really, allso the photography is awfull (Doggiez would like that),
I am having trouble a little bit with readability on the preformatted code blocks of the article section, here the background-pattern in combination with the font style makes it really hard to read the code snippets.(viewing from Safari)
regards, marios

Thanks for the input on the code blocks. I’ll add some kind of background (and Monaco for a font family too) if I have time this weekend.
[edit] Just changed the font. It’s seems a lot more readable now. Anyone else?

Re: jmdeldin.com
Yea, it’s even simpler! Since I’m away from my calibrated monitor, I have no idea how readable it is (if the text is too light). What do you think?

I have to stare and concentrate in order for the letters to pop off the page.

Nice. I like grey on white but the grey is a little too light for me, it’s hard work reading that page. Perhaps opening the character spacing up a little with a letter-spacing: 1px; would help too?

I like the look of the site. Nice and elegant. I especially like the way you’ve chosen to present the design section. :)
