Smile Horizon Template Extended

Hi,

I've just re-launched my website using PixelPost and a modified and extended Horizon template (by Scraig).

Modifications:

Moved from prototype to jQuery.
Modified drop down animation.
Added Meta information drop down.
Added Social Networking bookmarks.
Added Thumbnail previews on next/previous links.
Added and modified the SEO addon.
Few cosmetic changes etc.

I've checked it in Opera/IE/Safari on windows Vista. If you could take a look and see if it breaks or has issues, and let me know your operating system and browser version.....

Website URL : digitalslrphotos.com


Cheers
Dave

I like the design - the use of the stripes is very interesting.

I like the way you implemented the stripes addon - when I developed it I didn't have a lot of ideas of how to use it but you've put it in your site in a pleasing way.

maybe not

I am looking at the site on a 24inch iMac. There is this small photo way over on the left of my screen and then this great big ole distracting stripe that takes up 80% of the screen. Its very distracting if you ask me and takes away from your nice photography. I have to give it a thumbs down. Sorry to be the naysayer...

No problem, I'm looking at putting something in place to optionally remove the stripes as a user option. As for photo size, stats suggest that most of my visitors are still using 1024*768, and displaying photos any larger means that they have to start scrolling to see it. I'm contemplating putting somehting in palce to show an appropriate size photo for the current screen size, but not sure how well it will work. I'm using a 22" screen and don;t think the photos look that small.

Lastly, the photo should be centered on the screen, along with all the other content (IE/Opera/Mozilla and Safari on Windows NT/XP/Vista all center the content). Not got access to a Mac to test it though, so I'll have to investigate. Should look like the following (at 1680*1050) (Click to enlarge)
