Over the past year I’ve been compiling a list with several entries about things that either were unclear or annoyed me to death about my photoblog layout. Fixing bugs or adding features took some time but yesterday I finally uploaded the beta version of the layout.

In general it is still the same, it only has evolved into an even better template (thanks for that comment Jay). So what is new?

• Lights out feature: turns all elements to dark except the photo. Can be found in the section Photo details in the Sidebar when looking at a photo
• Tooltips all around. People were having trouble locating things. I hope tooltips popping up will help with this.
• In case the tooltips cannot be found, have a look at the help page (right upper left in the menu). It will explain everything.
• The ratingstuff has moved to a more prominent place. It is more visible now and I hope people will start to rate more this way.
• The archive page now displays navigational elements in the thumbnailview.
• Find out the other stuff…

Once in a while I’ll get some mail asking me where the download of the template is located. I’m truly sorry, but you cannot download the template. It is part of my identity and I put in so much hours that giving it away for free or for a small amount of money just doesn’t feel right.

Thanks for all the kind words through those emails, those are really appreciated.
