Hi All You Smuggers!

First off I'd like to say, "Great job" to those at smugmug. You folks do a great job! Love all the features! I have a request though.

I was visiting the other site, Flickr (opps, did I say a bad word?), and I (feeling a little guilty for saying this) liked their interface design (so ashamed). However, Flickr does have a simple and clean design, nice color scheme and pretty easy to navigate.

I know Andy, our moderator, was saying "tell it like it is" and perhaps smugmug it can do something about it. (Cause you guys rock!)

I know we can customize our site using html, java, etc. However I like the easy of use in choosing themes from the pull down menu. I was wondering, if you can have more themes. And if you ask me, I think in designing, "less is definitely more". Keep the graphics & color simple and clean. Think Zen.

Again, great job guys, I'm a Smugger for life. (Just add more themes) :D

:wave Hi jayng and welcome to Dgrin! Thanks for "telling it like it is!" We love to hear it straight. We're hard at work, and so are some theme designers, on more themes, we promise!

There's lots you can do in just a few clicks btw, to make your site even more appealing!

Have you tried "smugmug classic" as a theme?
Put a custom header (even some text) to replace the standard header?
Put a space in your footer and you can eliminate the smugmug big footer...
etc..
