With David's suggestions the font-size will be better. I've an addition to this. It's not only the font-size itself making it worse when enlarging. The distance between the gallery-rows is growing when the fontsize is bigger, as well in IE as in FF. Reason is the height of the gallerypost-class in em: with 9em it's growing fast! See screenshot 1 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/cssremix-screen1.gif>. To avoid increasing of the distance, you could set (for instance) the height of the h2-line in this class on 2.5em (then there is enough space for a double line if firmly enlarged fontsize). With a small padding-top of the items, the whole 9em can be omitted. See screenshot 2 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/cssremix-screen2.gif>.
2. I'm a bit concerned about the visits of visitors with a telephone modem. The images ask about 200kB, that is (with a fast modem of 56kbps) about 40 seconds before every page is on screen. See Page speed report <http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.cssremix.com/>. My phantasy tells me this visitors will not be eager to click on the "next page" link ... What you could do: - Supposing you are adding new sites/thumbs in the end of the last (incomplete) page with thumbs, you can combine the images of the complete pages before in one smaller total-jpg each page, loaded as background-img and (multiple) css-positioned to add the text-lines. More or less like a css-hover img-combination <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-jakob-nav.htm>. - Split up the thumb-pages in more pages with less thumbs (say 9) on it. Then the thumbs can be some bigger to give a better impression of the site design of the thumbs. And: the about 30 thumbs on 1 page is too much information to make a decision where to go on. - The first thing the majority of web-visitors is thinking when they see a page for the first time is "where can I click for a next page?" - I guess visitors will stay longer, if they can make quick repeated decisions "this not, I click to the next", instead of making "boring scrolls" and getting too much choice. See imaginary screenshot 3 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/images/cssremix-screen3.gif>. It's a bit going over to usability talk, I stop!- I hope I've put enough css in this reply to stay tolerated at the list. ;-) Greetings, francky ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
