Fairly stable at this point

http://opalcat.com

This is my personal site. I use the same visual template for my gallery and livejournal, which are both integrated, but currently the way that livejournal does rss feeds they link to the comments page, which isn’t “skinned” by my template so that is a little jarring. They have a newer template method that I haven’t gotten around to learning yet, which I believe will allow me to skin the comments page as well. Maybe that’s a project for the summer.

The other thing I want to do is have the “most recently updated gallery” part at the bottom show up side by side instead of vertically… any ideas?

If you change your markup a little for the images so that each title and image pair is a unit, then you can use float:left; and width:nn px; to arrange those ‘units’ next to each other.
One way would be to surround each h3 and blockquote pair with a div class="image-entry", then define a width:nn px; and float:left; for the class, or perhaps neater, instead of h3 and blockquote you use a dl list with dt for the title and dd for the image. Don’t forget to clear the float after the images. There’s a nice little tutorial along these lines in dan cederholm’s bulletproof web design book, in case you have it.

I figured out how to tweak the form for the rss output. Yay!
