Hi, I just moved to Pixelpost and made a design for my blog.
I know it works in Konqueror and Firefox. I've submitted it to Browser shots to make sure it's ok in IE etc.

I'd really like to know anyone's thoughts on it and whether it needs any improvements.

Cheers,
Kris.

always post a link...even if it is in your profile

:)

there is nothing wrong with you templates design, it feels a bit unorganized maybe with the large text and lacement of things. Most photoblogs could use some cleaning up though.

I suggest to start off, give a little more space below the image before the comments and info link, and tone down the font sizes just a bit.

larger font sizes can work great witha design, i just dont think they are working too well with this one.

Darn, I meant to post a link.
Thanks for the suggestions. I simply didn't specify a font size so it's at 1em, I'll see about making it smaller.

Great template! I like the idea with the thumbnail navigation.
Two things you could change:

- The font looks a bit tight and could have more spacing (more space between the single letters)

- The Creative Commons License link and logo could be much smaller. Now they take more space and look more important than your Naked Eye logo.

Nice photos on your site!

Thanks! I've changed the CC and I'm not sure what to do about the font except maybe change the default font-family.

How about spacing it a bit better using CSS? Play around with this:

letter-spacing: 0.15em;

By the way, you should include a link to your website in your signature.

Thanks for that! I was looking it up on W3C but couldn't find letter spacing, I guess I was looking under "font" and "text" spacing but didn't look for "letter".
