Just launched Another Photo Gallery. Yes, that is what it is called: AnotherPhotoGallery.com. All comments are appeciated. Thanks.

By the way, comment not just on the main site, but also the individual galleries too. Especially, Images From a Tea Garden. That one is my favorite.

Nice and clean art, eventually you might want to look into something like an AJAX lightbox type gallery. That is what I have been working on integrating and they are awsome.

I like your gallery, very neat and clean CSS. Did you do the sub sites as well? The images from the Tea Garden is the nicest one. I would make the other sites, resemble that template a little more to brand them together.

Yes, I did the sub-sites too.

Is there a good "AJAX lightbox gallery" open-source software? Or script? Or tutorial? A url?

Overall Nice Site,
But... ;)
-you left out 4 alt tags, which causes the site to fail validation at w3c ( http://validator.w3.org ).

-I would also suggest dropping the tables in favor of pure CSS, that seems to be the trend nowadays.

-also, where it says "Bookmark this website. " I was kind of expecting it to be a link to a "bookmark script"... maybe it should be?

-In your code there is only one META tag. I know that some people think that meta tags are becoming obsolete, but I think that they wouldn't hurt.

-the Image with the site name looks a little rough around the edges, maybe you could smooth it out in photoshop or some such?

But yes, as I said nice site! Keep up the good work ;)

The front page looks really good, but why not in the galleries? It was a shame to see such a bland gallery page

:lol: That is because I created the "galleries" (the sub-sites) long time ago and I created the main front page just now. And back then, I didn't know what I was doing.

But don't worry, when I have time I will create some newer galleries to replace these old ones. And they should be getting better because now I'm just starting to know what I'm doing.

I think it is pretty cool and very well put together...if you could present the individual pictures in a different manner, it would be even better.

That's a good idea. Anybody know where I can get a "bookmarking" script?

Yes... very nice website. Especially the tea garden sub-site. I really like it.
You should try and blend them all together. I mean make a similar layout for every gallery and everything should be fine!

In that java imagebox thing on the homepage I can't see the text underneath the image ... can you stretch it a little ... Do you know what i'm talking about?

The front page layout is good but the color scheme is aweful.

wow, this website has some great pictures. I'm a big fan of nature.

Ok, what do I think of the overall navigation and look.

I consider the navigation a little on the difficult side because every part of the website looks different and I can't always find a Home link or something that links back to the home page. To much adsense, really bothering, especially on the photo gallery of Scandinavia page. It doesn't matter if a website has a lot of adsense but not within a small margin.

So in a nutshell, navigation is confusing.

the look

I noticed how every section on the website is a completely different website. I can understand that for newcomers it takes some time to get familiar with the surroundings of the website. Color schemes are not very well balanced, I can see it took some work though, its not that.
