    PS : Just noticed I made a typo in the domain name - Its supposed to be http://www.yourdogpictures.com of course, if an admin could edit the title I'd be grateful :)

    Hello,

    this is my first attempt to build a site with some social twist, please take a look at it and let me know what you think about it. It's meant to be a simple site for dog lovers who'd like to share their photos. Nothing design heavy etc ... just an easy to understand platform to share niche pictures.

    Thanks,
    Mat

    Awww loved the site. As a dog owner, I absolutely adore looking at pics of cute dogs. What a great idea for a site to have owners upload pics of our dogs :D As far as the design goes, it's really nice and clean, colors are not overbearing and the site has an overall friendly inviting feel to it. Great site

    The layout is pretty decent. Good social media placement with the Facebook box in the left.

    Liked the ever present navigation bar at the top.

    Nice design. Loading time is little slow, I think its because of more images.

    The site is quite nice. Well done and good luck with your new project.

    On another note, which script are you using?

    The site really looks great to me! I can’t say anything except that I’m a dog lover too. :)

    The site looks pretty good .... but just a suggestion don't you think reducing entries per page would reduce page length means less effort to scroll down ..... plus may be some slide show banner or a bit colorful background would tune up a site a bit .. Just saying :) good effort .

    yeah that is a nice design. You might like to consider adding a next page button to load 20 or so dog photos at a time as this would make it faster to load after you scroll a fair way down the page

    I suggest to use only landscape photos and not portrait photos (wide-height ratio).

    Anyway, great site.

    Really nice site. My only recommendation would be to modify the layout to a responsive grid style layout like Pinterest. Otherwise, a great work.
