Less about the width of the image, more about a lack of distracting features on X, when you take that background away anyway.
Images could be Lightboxed, but I got the impression the idea was to have the images as the main focus rather than using thumbnails.

Theme X, the layout puts more focus on the image. Perhaps with a more subtle BG though eh...

I would say that Theme Y has plently of room to work with regarding images. As far as i was aware we are only viewing the home page just now and i dont expect to see an over follow of images where the latest news and tasks are ment to be.

Sweet. Can I add you to msn (assuming you use it)? I've never coded a wordpress theme before and it has been ages since I have done some real css so I may need to give someone a shout if I get stuck. Do you have any good links that could help me out? I've found a few good ones but they are going to take me ages to work through :( .

If everyone involved gets on Flickr and we all use the same tag for this project, we can easily pull everything relevant into a blog - Tumblr, Wordpress or whatever. If it's all in the one place, when it comes to choosing 'best of' stuff for a book we could just count up the comments/reblogs.

I was hoping to take advantage of free stuff like that including vimeo. I will come up with a standard for submitting your work and if we all follow that it should be simple... in theory. We could post up the work on the Monday and then have a poll posted on the Tuesday although this would mean one winner unless there is a tie. If you think about it though there won't be too many projects if they are every second week so we could probably have everyone piece of work in the book or each person's top 3 etc.

Well it sounds like it certainly beats sitting in Wetherspoons with me and Liam simultaneously making everyone else's eyes fog over with a technophobic haze! x

There was talk about holding a similar event in Glasgow - do you think there is a big enough social media community there? I don't know - if there was, it certainly isn't as accessible and as open as the ones in Leicester and London.
Maybe I am only cynical because of the bad experiences I had setting stuff up in Ayr and Glasgow - maybe the time is now and we missed the boat (I doubt it...)

I'm really not a fan of Lightbox. Well I can understand it if you want to see the image much larger. But i'd much rather just be able to see all the work on the one page rather than clicking through thumbnails. Which is why I like Jonnys. He uses the full width for the image, leaving it at a very reasonable size for viewing.
Currently 3-5 in favour of Biancas.
