I love Venice! It is marvellous!

one suggestion: you could show more than 3 thumbnails on one page, you loose the overview because you have to scroll down with only 3 thumbs in a row ..

did you check the tags? I remember somehow that there are other tags necessary when viewing category-selections, but I am not at home and I have not all material on my laptop with me...

check the tags

Hi Connie and thanks
I'll check out the tag reference.
As for the thumbnails..i went from small thumbs to larger ones...you think they are too large?

no, I mean you only show 3 thumbs in a row in the page and because of that you must scroll more than necessary
by modifiying the template or the CSS for the template I am sure you could present at least 5 thumbs in a row... that would easy the "reading" the page

Hi Connie
First I fixed the browse category (i had the wrong tag, needed "by page").

For the thumbs, if i go to 5 without making them smaller they will not fit across the page..the page would be wider and would not match the blog....am i wrong?

yes, the place for the thumbs is controlled by the width of the div, where they sit in and if that is only big enough for 3 thumbs, you will have a long list

if you stretch this to fit for 5 thumbs, this part would be too big, you think?
In my opinion there is a lot of space to the right and left...
and I am only on a 1024x768 monitor. most people have higher resolution ;=)
