I like to see a page of thumbnails in rows and columns, rather than having
to scroll one column.
You also have some rather confusing and unnecessary steps. For example, when
I click on archive I am presented with a list of dates. I know it's photo a
day, but there are no photos... If I click a date then I get a scrollable
column of photos, each for a different day. So the list of dates seems
distinctly redundant.
Ah, I have just looked again, and it is a list of months. So this shows that
the list is not really communicating what it is. The only way back from this
is with the browser Back button, so your 'hard' navigation is not consistent
from page to page.
The scroll bar is quite difficult to use - for most of the page you have to
take a guess as to whether you are in the scrollable region, because it is
not distinct from the background.
You also make the user click backwards too much to navigate away.
Here is a way I might consider doing it.
1. Keep the left menu bar the same on all pages
2. Have active subheadings on the photo a day part of the menu for each
year, eg
Photo a day
2006
2005
...
3. Each year has its own page, one photo for each month, captioned with the
month name (in Polish and English, presumably)
4. Click the month to see a page of photos for that month, perhaps arranged
like a calendar
5. Click a photo to see it full size
Hope this helps,
Bob
