As I have just taken up photography I recently developed this website:
www.itoni-photography.com/
I have also used EasyBlog and EasyDiscuss as they work well together and decided to keep it simple
It's still in it's early stage as I now need to continually add blogs! I'm looking forward to this in WordPress!

Looking good.
I'd suggest replacing the menu icons with color ones so they stand out. - Thank you,
Jason

- Site looks good. I'd suggest that you take advantage of the RokGallery instead of taking people off-site to your Flickr page. Also I'd suggest a little more work on the words in the logo. Try a more unique font.

Hi Rae
I recall you quite a while back providing valued feedback to another of my sites
I agree as I also dislike the logo and need to work on it. As I am intending to upload hundreds (thousands) of photos thought Flickr more suited. How about a Gallery using Rockettheme but the core images linked to Flickr. As a visitor how would you personally feel about that
Thanks again for taking the time to review my site
Regards

Hi Toni,
Doing a quick search in the Joomla extension library I found a few things that might work.
extensions.joomla.org/search?q=flickr
I haven't used any of these so I can't offer anything else than the reference, but take a look. Something might click for you. - Best wishes,
Rae

Hi Rae
Thanks for the link. I had done research also and found the same plugins. I'm always wary about installing 3rd party components outside of Rockettheme but will look more closely. I think perhaps I should use the gallery as you had suggested and add a Flickr More Images link!
I managed to change the logo which I agree does look much better. Only problem now is finding out hot to lower the top menu lol - Sometimes it's just not worth chewing the straps to get free!

The logo is so much nicer now.
Well, the trick with the extension library is to read the extension details, reviews and look at the demo. If a lot of people are praising and it looks like the developer is actively developing in J 2.5 then you can feel lot more comfortable installing it. I'd suggest installing on a test site first to make sure things go as you would expect them to.
The RokGallery is really a nice extension. It lets you setup many different galleries that can be displayed in different ways. The secret is in the gallery tag. Definitely worth a try. - Best wishes,
Rae
