I am using my personal site as a test bed for a new AJAX interface I'm developing, it is also using the Flickr API for displaying photos. I'd like to get your opinions on the functionality. Thanks!

This is pretty cool *if* you know what tags are. Which I imagine a lot of people don't. The pop-up help icon doesn't do much to explain that either. What is a tag? What can I enter in this search box? I think it would be helpful if the tag list was available right away. The search box actually doesn't seem to work for me at all in Opera - I have to click on "photos" and navigate the tag list from there.

THe interface is okay but kind of bland looking. Great wedding pictures!

I took your advice on the help icon description and hopefully it's a little more explanitory now. I'm fine with a bland interface because I'd rather the audience spend time looking through the content.

I have not tested this in Opera yet, but it is working great in FF, IE and Safari.

As far as tags go, they are different depending on what section you are in - there are no tags attached to blog posts yet, thats why the tag bar is empty under front, but there are lots under photos and music.

thanks for the look megan.
