Hi all,

Just interested in your thoughts on this one. Anything you would like to see added or changed to make it more user friendly?

Thanks,

I like it. Nice and simple. Renders well on Firefox and Epiphany browsers.
Nice photos too. I'm finding it hard to come up with any critical comment.
If you will be the only person logging in, you might move the "Meta:Log in"
from the top of the "Essentials" table to the bottom of the table, or preferably,
to a very small text link at the bottom of the page.

Thanks, glad you like it. I need to work out how to change that as I'm not sure yet.... not the most clever with this sort of thing so finding my way as I go.

i really like it Mark. its simple and classy and looks professional. i like the simple black with a banner and the blog running between the menus.

+1 on it looking professional. As an aside, looks like you and your family left Egypt at a good time. Really sad what is happening there.

Thanks guys.

Tsquare, yes, it's not much fun out there. My wife's family live there so we've been a bit worried but they are OK. I just hope something gets fixed soon.

Looks very good Mark, copacetic with your main website design too.

Make sure you keep to a posting schedule though, don't let it get too far out of date!

Thanks Craig. The only thing I've found that I don't like about it is that if you open one photo then there isn't an option for it to go to others, you have to go back then open a new one. Don't think I can fix this which is a bit of a shame as there will be a lot of photos

Hmm, if you're using Wordpress, as you seem to be, have you tried the Lightbox JS plugin? That should do it for you.

I like it Mark! Great design. The only thing I found out was that the link to your website isn´t working. Maybe that´s temporary?

Otherwise I think you did great with the blog.

I liked you on Facebook too

Best regards/Daniel
