Lately I have been concentrating on creating some coherent, improved version of my website (www.yoorek.com). I had few ideas as to where and how far I want to take things. One of the ideas was to create a section dedicated to displaying some of my photos. It also was a good excuse to dust off my XHTML/CSS skills. Here is the result (proudly created in vi) -
You can see the real thing at photos.yoorek.com/portfolio/. I would be very, very interested in your opinion about it. Does the concept work? Are the pages rendered properly? Is navigation problematic? Any feedback is more than welcome. For the time being there are only three galleries there. This should be sufficient to test it though. At some later stage I plan to turn this into Ligthroom web gallery template. On a technical note, this is a strict XHTML with CSS gallery. Modularity of components is taken care of by using SSI (server side includes). Let me know what you think.

yOOrek’s Rants’n Raves » Blog Archive » Mulholland Drive added these pithy words on Nov 14 08 at 01:49While browsing through your portfolio I came across this awesome pic. It reminds me of the movie Mulholland Drive from David Lynch. Very nice transition from the face to the background. Put it on flickr!!
To your new site. The size of the images is really good. Check back with your navigation, as some items, like equipment, get removed when i move to the portfolio page. If you did that on purpose, maybe you should remove the whole bottom navigation and replace it with the breadcrumbs on top.
Remove the vertical scrollbar.
The look of the horiziontal scrollbar doesn’t fit the page layout.
If you put more albums on the portfolio startpage, maybe it is necessary to rearange them. Maybe smaller pics but in a square? Would be nice if they would fit on one page without scrolling on a “standard” monitor”.Cheers,

Thanks. I will upload it tonight. What do you mean by ‘replace it with breadcrumbs on top’?

BTW how do you like the new ‘ASCII’ look of the blog?

Well, if I understand the definition correctly, then I already have them. Just above the top strip where logo is located. Left hand side.

yes, exactly. And maybe you don’t need the bottom navigation at all.
