My new website

[Martyn]

I guess I'm just after a bit of feedback really. Finally put my new website live:

http://martynhoyer.co.uk/

It's a wordpress blog, based on the Boston Big Picture site, so it behaves in a similar way (lead shot on the index links to individual post and more images).

I've got a few loose ends to tidy up and a few more accessibility bits and fallbacks to put in, but I think it's pretty much there.

Quite the battle with Facebook, G+ and all their meta schema crap!

Thoughts most welcome!

Hi Martin,

I was undecided on the size of the images at first. They only just (height wise) fit on my 15" Macbook Pro screen. However, after spending some time looking around the site and seeing the images in the context of a post I have to say I really like it. There is something to be said for big images!

Couple of things :

On the FB/ G+ / Tweet side (for posts), it might be better to have them all on the same line and expand their sidebar slightly. When they are stacked on top of each other they sometimes extend past the text of the post, which leaves a gap between text and picture. See here : http://martynhoyer.co.uk/2010/11/tate-modern-ai-weiwei-sunflower-seeds/


The site FB / G+ /Twitter buttons at the top of the site (near your name) look a bit incongruous. Maybe move them to the More Info slide down, next to the QR Code?

I'd lighten the title text of the posts (both post and front page) slightly as the contrast between the current text colour and background is a bit close.

Otherwise, a nice clean professional site!
