take a look

I can't do much else with the software, its still pre rc1 so I just mess with colors. Tell me what you think... why not black and grey, I guess thats wasn't my personality... this pops more and is fun. I still might go with a black/grey theme if. This color scheme was pulled using an image of mine, not all the colors just some that looked eye appealing to me.

ps the logo is still a work in progress

The cart is still in early stages, the add to cart link only shows on individual pictures.... I have left the default pricing that came with the cart. Try it out, its more user friendly just don't submit.

Thanks for the compliment... I kept looking at it and changing little things....

I like the dark themes, but for some reason I think its to hard to read text, its nice for images, but so is a lighter theme.

I am considering other things like making the main images thumbnail size... forcing a click on them, but I am not sure on that... most people want to look quickly and get out.

Those two colors... the orangish/red and that blue are pulled from a Arches image... the dark gray as well, I just used a lighter gray in the center as opposed to white.

Thanks though.

on the links... there is a guy who has something where the user can put the sidebar on the left or right and/or turn it off. I have to see if I can get the code from him to put it in my site.

did you click the add to basket... to see what it does.

its is cause the prices aren't set.... those will change from the current site. Its not done cause the cart will change from this version as the gallery software is still pre-release candidate and that cart might not be there cause its a users cart and not the gallery teams cart... we will see, I guess ,what will happen.

Accounts were transferred over as well, so you can log in...

Its setup differently I believe... if your looking at the new site I don't have anything setup at all. The old site it wouldn't show.

Gallery 4 isn't at that point yet. Gallery 3 has something in the admin section for keywords, that has keywords, but its not shown in the html.

I have a option in Galley4 to block bots, but wouldn't that block google- analytic.

Artwanted could put captcha which would mean we would have to enter a phrase before we post here or send a email. I don't know if that would stop it. I used to get alot of spam on my email accounts from my website, before I put in captcha.

Captcha comes with this Gallery 4 in the form of a add on module, and I also have setup Askminet... which blocks spam.

Up to about 2 months ago, I was getting spam on my main website email address, then I changed my email address here to hotmail and the spamming stopped. I use Outlook 2007 for email and it does a good job at blocking junk email.
