Please review my site... very excited!!!

I just launched postfunnypics.com two days ago. I am very excited. I have over 1000 images uploaded in and pretty good navigation. I was hoping to get reviews of it. Positive AND Negative comments are desired.

Here is my link: postfunnypics

Thank you so much for helping me out!

You have some outstanding pictures on there. I've looked through many of them, whereas, most of your pictures i haven't seen before. In terms of uniqueness or "freshness", this is a welcome change!

Your favicon is outstanding and definitely underlines the purpose of your site. Navigation, logo, content, etc. looks good to me.

Just a few things i'd like to see added or adjusted to complete the picture (pun intended )
On the front page, add a slide show that slowly spools through images. This should be easily doable with an ajax element i would guess.

Once clicked on an image to magnify it, it would be great if this would actually happen in a lightbox that pops up. You can still add the "forward/back" arrows onto the lightbox. This may be way outside your concept though.

Last but not least, in your blog post: "Updating like crazy... for your view pleasure" - it should be: .... for your viewing pleasure.

Overall, nicely done with great pictures.

I agree with what Mike said, the website has a very nice overall feeling. The only thing I don't like is the logo/header, it looks like someone just learned how to use Photoshop glow effects and work the heck out of the logo. And maybe try using little more colors other than blues and grey.

Good luck

Like kandue said and i have too agree, the logo/header part of you website design is more rookie , not too professional . You have to design something more atractive then that logo that is too huge for the header . A logo should have an smaller size an represent your website . My first impression as an viewer was that the website isn`t professional , just another one trying to earn some money . And that is true, but you have to redesign your header some the first impression should be : "Oh what a cool site , i will defenetly bookmark it!!" . This is my opinion , the rest is good, you have good content and great images .

Good luck with your website .

Thank you all for the advice! As for the header... I agree. It is very amateurish. Being creative is definitely not my strong point when creating my own graphics. I plan on it getting a professional one made ASAP but for now I went ahead and spent some time making a flashier version.

As for the lightbox... I love the idea. I'm trying to implement one now. I have some concerns with effective advertising in a light box but hopefully if I can build some brand loyalty I can just worry about that later.

Oh, and thanks for the tip on the typo on the main page. It made it sound like I was a foreigner (no dispect).

Thanks for all the comments so far! Its really helping me to make it better!

According to my browser i spent more than 10 minutes on your site..and its very rarely that i stay so long on a site i visit for the first time.

Good clean theme.

Nice Content.

I would also have loved to see some lightbox in there..making navigation much more appealing ( for me )

but overall a very nice job.
