	Photo Geekery
	The website redesign is almost complete. www.disturbing.org.uk now has most of a new look, and much smaller "highlight" pages and archives - rather than hundreds of images all fighting for your attention. There's still some work, but comments appreciated on how well it does or doesn't work. I've created an RSS feed from my flickr account which will be pulling highlights from my archives - simonflickr. For a while now I've been running a photo-LJ repeating key parts of this journal, and a bit more - see disturbingorguk. The friends list for this journal is mainly other LJ photo communities and such like. Much of it is not work safe (one of the reasons I keep it separate) - one or two of you might want to bookmark it at http://www.livejournal.com/users/disturbingorguk/friends/. Finally, todays other RSS feed discovery was BetterPhoto.com's daily feed from their photography instructors - see bpinstructors - daily thoughts/opinions on photography. There - don't say I don't do anything for you ;-) Tags: photo, website

www.disturbing.org.uk looking good although i do have 1 comment. what were your thoughts on people with 800x600 screens? i know some sites choose just to go with 1024x768 and ignore lower-res people. the site doesn't look like it likes 800x600 so i was just wondering what you decided on that...

Thanks - I know the design is a bit simplistic, but I'd never claim to be a web designer. Or a code-monkey. Or ...

I baselined at 1024x768 in the end. The front page works at 800x600, but the other pages need scrolling, and work to varying degrees. It's a bit like browser compatibility - you have to draw a line somewhere.

I might put in some code to catch the browser window size and see what people are coming in at. If there are lots at 800x600 then I'll write a style sheet for them especially.

Hmm - I'll check. Thanks for the heads up. I actually mean to go through and recreate all those "portfolio page" images at a higher quality/the correct size anyway, rather than at the moment where they are being resized in the web browser.
