C&C on website, if'n you don't mind

clawhammer · 01-02-2008, 11:35 PM

Hey there folks! Over the last little while I've been putting together a little Pentax website. It's not much, but I was wondering if I could get ya'lls opinion on it- what do you like about it, what's wrong with it, etc.

Thanks a bunch!

You have Ken Rockwell as a Pentax source of information? The guy who bitched about the *ist Ds without ever picking one up? The guy who bleeds N*kon (or C*non depending on the appendage). The guy who thinks Pentax is/has/will go out of busines?

I think not.

He's on the 'other' links, category, not the 'pentax links'

I think he reviewed the D200 that way aswell. Not my favorite reference point, sorry. Good for brightening up a dull day.

Sorry, I'm not fond of it

In my opinion you can't have a photography related web site without at least having a link to some of your own pictures.

Personally I could see having a main page, with branches going to your gallery, your link page, and a separate Pentax info page.

But I'm no expert, I just know what I like to see

On another topic, I just noticed your sig.
If you wrote to Mo, I'm pretty sure that he can change your name to whatever you want

clawhammer · 01-03-2008, 04:21 PM

Good advice, little laker. Don't want to be impersonating a certain blogger, now do I?

little laker · 01-03-2008, 06:54 PM

Well I just took a look at your gallery on here, and you have a few very nice photographs there, so it's an even bigger reason to show them on your site.

In my opinion this one is breathtaking.

And I think that it'd look great on your main page

clawhammer · 01-03-2008, 07:00 PM

Thanks, LL! I've added a Gallaries link to some quick-n-dirty galleries created via Aperture. I hope to eventually move all this to it's own dedicated server/domain, rather that being spread across googlepages and my ISP's space. I'll have to see if I can rearrange my main page now...

Thanks for all the input

little laker · 01-03-2008, 07:09 PM

That's a big improvement right there Jake

Cannot return to main site from any gallery; except via browser back button which reverses all the images, one at a time until back at gallery index--slow!

Thanks, I'll have to figure out a way to get that to link back to my main page...

m8o · 01-03-2008, 08:25 PM

I myself would prefer if the home/index page matched the look & feel of the rest of the site; or visa versa.

little laker · 01-03-2008, 09:37 PM

Poor Jake, has already completely revised his site, and will probably have some more tweaks to do.

Jake, I hope that you don't mind.
I did a little work on your Utah Mountains page, you can view it here

All that I really did was add a link to your home page, and all the images open in a new window, so they're easy to close and no pressing Back

I used NVU for it, which is a free drop and drag program.

If you like it feel free to save it and use it for yourself

clawhammer · 01-04-2008, 06:58 PM

Thanks for the recommendation for NVU- hopefully with that I can get all my site off of googlepages and onto my ISP-provided site. I'm gonna mess around with the main gallery pages like you've done stu and see if I can keep the font and physical arrangment of the original Aperture page.
