I can't promise to help, but I can look. And Steve's idea seems like a good place to start. Karl,

I’m interested in seeing what you come up with, so if you send me a password, I’ll check in. I can’t promise to help, but I can look. And Steve’s idea seems like a good place to start.

Sounds familiar! I designed one version of the "gallery/studio" based on your website ;-) Leslie, okay, I'll see what I can do! Steve,

Leslie, okay, I’ll see what I can do!

I am interested to see what others come up with though. And any of my images are up for grabs for whatever you have in mind. Karl,

Your layout concept sounds reasonable. If we want to show words for each image (not necessarily a good idea to ask for these), they could be displayed also on the gallery page by hovering using the title attribute. (By the way, at least with Wordpress, I can't seem to get the title attribute in image elements, but I can in links, e.g. the one to a larger image in Quark's rabbit.) I'm not sure whether a grid of clickable small images or a scrolling display of clickable medium images is best, but it is important to be able to see at least several images at a time in the gallery.

If you could describe the idea in a bit more detail I could make a "sketch" using the new system, and imaginary people for the sake of initial design. It seems like you are saying this: SOME THEME (and the title of the site) 1. person A's images and words 2. person B's images and words 3. person C's images and words etc... The way I would lay this out is to use the gallery or studio section to display the images, and the blog section for discussion (images could be repeated there for the sake of reference). The gallery/studio main page would be the front page. The sub pages would hold the individual's works. These sub pages would contain links to blog posts for discussion. Do I get the basic idea?
