A Few Flickr Favorites

Some of my Flickr favorites

I love Flickr. Not just because I can share personal photos with friends and family, but because there are a lot of excellent photos from people all over the world to discover. I usually make a quick scan through Flickr once a day looking for one or two to add to my favorites, but probably only find one I really like maybe once a week, if that.

I’m pretty picky about what I make a favorite. It has to stir something in me when I first see it. It could be awe, fear, joy or laughter. I actually don’t have that many favorites, but I thought I’d share a few thumbnails of some of them.

If you want to, you can see all of my Flickr favorites.

Actually your site looks better and comes up faster on IE 7 than firefox.

Actually, my site looks the same in both IE7 and Firefox, but loads fastest in Safari (since we’re doing the whole fanboy thing here).

I don’t remember saying anywhere my site looks better and loads faster in Firefox than IE7.

Chris-

I’m going to have to agree with McClane; the site does look slightly better in IE7 than FF, due to IE7’s new ClearType font rendering.

*I was going to leave a link to some info on ClearType, but your “formatting” section to the right doesn’t suggest that hyperlinks are allowed, and since there’s also no “preview” button, I didn’t want to leave a botched comment. It’s easy enough to find on Google though.

Maybe it’s my PC monitor then, but they look nearly identical. IE7 is definitely an improvement over IE6, but it’s still a shame it’s not fully standards-compliant.

It is possible to create a link, but I don’t include it in the formatting options to the right because I don’t want the site to turn into a link dump for anyone and everyone. If you know Textile, you know how to make a link.

all i can say is that your site looks fantastic! very simple theme yet looks very good. if i may ask, what theme or template did you use for the site? or did you make the theme yoursel? if you did design it yourself can i ask a copy of the theme or template if possible? thanks in advance!!!

I’ll agree with that wholeheartedly Dennis. Outstanding template. Given the dire shortage of quality templates for EE, it would be a godsend if Chris would submit a version of this to Rick et al. for inclusion in the official ee template library.
