Hmmm... clicking on Events/Sports once did nothing and then a 2nd click gave me a Java Script error (I'm using IE6).

Otherwise, a nice, clean looking site.

Cheers,

JK

I think the gallery doesn't work for some because they have a pop-up blocker.

The gallery is a new window...Thanks for looking!

Thanks and I agree. I couldn't get the "SimpleViewer" to work within my Flash document, so I had to make them pop-ups.

if you really wish to use simpleviewer to preent from having to dev your own, you should purchase the dev version from them so you can use the flash content of the viewer however you wish

overall I like the look and layout of the site, but personally I don't like the popups for the different galleries. I like to be in control of how I browse hte net and I tend to load up laods of different web pages in tabs within the one window. using JS to open links in a new window stops me from choosing how I want to surf and that's why I don't like it.

of course that's just my opinion and it's your site so ultimately if you like it it stays, but just something to keep in mind. also many people disable JS because they are paranoid ;) or have popup blockers because it makes sense - in which cases they will think yout site doesn't work and won't see your photos.

In Firefox, what should be a large version of the thumbnail photo is also thumbnail size.

I checked IE6 and the large photos display properly... but with a lot of people switching to Firefox, you might want to have a look at this.

I also don't like all the XML stuff and the fogged thumbnails getting brighter as they load, etc. I'm a fan of larger thumbnails (so I can see some detail even if I don't click) and linked large photos. But that's me.

For maximum marketing effect, I would think you would want your website to be viewable by virtually every browser.
