New Blog Theme

[Rob MacKillop]

What do you think of this blog Theme from 500px? I'm undecided. It doesn't give the name of each image, but I kind of like the sideways scrolling...

How dare you sir! There are some in there we haven't seen yet!

I quite like it. Nice and clean and a damned sight better than Flickr.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Are there? Possibly. Glad you like it, though. Cheers, Pete.

I like it but it would be nice if it filled more of the screen. You have have some truly stunning images on there Rob.

That looks rather good Rob.

I have a 500px account but never taken it too seriously, I tend to use Flickr as my dumping ground, and my own blog for other stuff.

Should I be using 500px more I'm wondering??

Filled more of the screen? Yes, that would be good, but I think it is a compromise for ipads and the like. There are a few templates, so I might change it every month...keep it fresh.

Thanks for the comments.

Dave, the main reason I use 500px is for the portfolio showcase...

I've discovered that if you click CtrL or Cmd then the + sign a couple of times, you can fill the screen, and keep scrolling.

I like it, Rob. And of course some the foties are superb. Is 500px a fee based service?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. It is free up to a point - can't recall what the point is - and then you pay. But either way, you get a free Portfolio site, distinct from your general upload site. My general upload site there is: http://500px.com/RobMacKillop - from where I assign images to the Portfolio. I can't remember what the price is, but I do remember getting it at a 50 per cent reduction, and a year later they gave me six months free. So, look out for the offers. I'll mention them on RPF if I see any.

Thanks, Rob.

Nice find Rob - who is this Rob MacKillop fellow? He's rather good isn't he!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

A bit weird, if you ask me...

If that's weird...then weird is good. I like it a lot Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Glenn.

I've uploaded a few images to 500px. Have to say though looking at some of the images posted on there, I feel a bit inadequate with my snapshots!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, it's a scary place. Makes me feel like an arse at a wedding....just ignore them.

 

[Beth Carter]

Cheers, Beth. You are welcome to pop by anytime.
