Yes —that’s my point. When I go to your site, the cloud image comes up and there is only one arrow—the arrow on the left… pointing, obviously, backwards…. Intuitively (like on my DVD remote), I’m inclind to look for an arrow on the right… a link that will take me to the next image (the brick image in this case). For instance, when I click on ‘archives’ page, the first image on the left is the cloud image and the next one to the right is the brick image… so, I would assume that it would make sense that the link to the brick image (from the cloud image on the front page) would be an arrow to the right. I just think the image navigation might flow more intuitively if you switch your previous/next url links in the code (but leave the right/left arrows where they are).

Really nice website. I like how simple and clean it is. It is exactly what a photoblog should be. Keep up the good work.

That’s rather odd. I’ll see if I can fix that now. What’s also happening is that the navigation has moved to the left, which is something that Opera also does. Thanks for the screenshot.

You’re going backwards in time, not forwards. The image on the front page isn’t the “first image.” it’s the last image.

The archives page has thumbnails. I consider thumbnails to be like little descriptions, in a list. And how does the Western World read? Left to right.

Thank you, Alex.

Re: Lumilux
Boy, I’ve gotten a bunch done in 4 months.
Big changes:
- Big, clickable images in feeds
- A little slide-down box containing the photo title, a little “email a comment” button, and EXIF info!

Re: Lumilux
Despite all my arguments about “worthless comments” and “being different,” I realized today that perhaps I was being too different.
So… I’ve finally enabled comments. It’s ugly at the moment, but it works.
