My 2 cents' worth, as an art-loving, lazy, 56K-impaired gallery browser ;-) Take my comments with a grain of salt, they're meant to be helpful. According to the web usability wizards(www.useit.com), there are three sure-fire ways to keep users away : o Links that don't tell you if they're worth the wait o Slow loading o Scrolling So I'd recommend : o Good thumbnails w/ catchy titles, and a "nudity" tag ;-) o Max size 800x600 - images are for viewing, not scrolling o Max file 50K - that's 10 secs on a real-world dialup Also, if you sort the galleries by viewings and comments, you'll also get an idea about the most viewing- and comment-attracting kinds of pix. My subjective interpretation would be : o Lots of (female) skin => lots of viewings o Lots of skill (posing, lighting, etc.) => lots of comments o Lots of both => join the clique ;-) Have fun.
