a little feedback, if you would?

As you can see, I've changed my blog template once again. I want to be able to post full sized photos from my Flickr account, and to do so I need a wider blog. But I don't want my readers to have to scroll side to side in order to read and see everything. Using Firefox it looks okay on my monitor, but mine is pretty wide.

I haven't added any of the wider pictures, so I know it looks a bit empty in its current state. To show you what I mean, here's one of the pictures from the engagement shoot I did.

the biggest I could post before


REMOVED DUE TO LARGENESS

the full size I'd like to be able to post


Would you mind leaving me a comment and letting me know how it looks? Too wide? Do you have to scroll to see the main content and the sidebars?

  1. I have to scroll to the right to see the full page - maybe a tad too wide?

  2. me too, I have to scroll side to side...

    honestly, I think it's nice to be able to post something wider than 500px, but I wouldn't do more than 700px. Or if you really want feedback on details for certain photo, you can always link to the full sized version on Flickr.

    From what I've seen, large photos like that are usually posted on blogs that are dedicated to photography ;)

  3. The photo is a bit too big. I like the first size.

    I can't believe that was your first engagement shoot. Those pictures are beautiful.

  6. I think if you were posting an all text post it might look too wide. I use a huge monitor at work and I still have to scroll to the side to see all your side bars.

  7. I do have to scroll to see the sidebars. But I also like the wide photos, so it's cool with me.

  8. Hey Amy!
    I have to scroll too to see your sidebars, but I like the large photo better.

    Though Chantal made a good point about the "all text" posts being too wide...hmmmm

    Sorry I'm not much help ;)

  9. I love that picture! You're very talented with the camera! I have to scroll from side to side, right now, from my work computer.

  10. well, if i make the page as BIG as i can by moving the page as far over to the left as i can, then i can almost see all the archived items in your side bar... bigger is most of the time better, but not always more convenient!

    have to say though, i love the bigger picture! this way i won't have to click on them to see their full size!
