need to revamp my site!

[the supervillain]

hey everyone,
i need to redo my site i think. i find it too generic. i really want it to stand out, and look really well done.

so i think i need to start with a better way to organize the photos. i think my categories are too broad and i need to narrow it down.
something like have a nature category, then within that, a landscape subcategory, a macro/closeup subcategory, etc etc.

or, as an example, a landscape category, then a nature subcategory, an urban category.

also, i think it needs a visual overhaul as well, when i signed up, i went with the moon river clone look. i liked it at first (not that there is wrong with it) but i think i need something more :)

if any of you awesome folks have a few minutes to spare, take a look around my site and tell me what you think. be honest, i can take it!

thanks alot!!

Here are a few suggestion......

To move your slideshow up more, add this line to your slide-show code:


<script>
<!--
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: '7210428',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://craiggosling.smugmug.com/photos/489507459_qfnEk-XL.jpg',
splashDelay: '10000',
showLogo: 'false',
borderThickness: '0',
borderColor: 'ffffff',
clickUrl: 'http://craiggosling.smugmug.com/galleries',
showThumbs: 'false',
showButtons: 'false',
crossFadeSpeed: '350',
imgAlign: 'top',
randomStart: 'true'
};

insertSlideshowNoClick(750, 750, ssConfig, 'transparent');
//-->
</script>




To bump your nav-bar down a bit add this to your css box, adjust to fit your needs:



#navcontainer
{margin-top:50px;}





To clean up your bio/guestbook page, add this to your CSS:



/*====Bio/Guestbook-Page====*/
.gallery_7220856 #breadCrumbTrail,
.gallery_7220856 .play_slideshow,
.gallery_7220856 #albumNav_top,
.gallery_7220856 #albumNav_bottom,
.gallery_7220856 .nophotos h3,
.gallery_7220856 .pageNav
{display:none;}
.gallery_7220856 .journal_entry
{border:none;}

thanks jallen
i moved my slideshow down and played with the guestbook page! i also reorganized my galleries, hopefully things will be a bit easier to find now.

i am looking for a way to redo the main page that people see when they first arrive at my site, according to google analytics i have a high bounce rate, i want a way to draw people in a bit better, any suggestions??

thanks again :)
