Whilst working on the list of previous kazoo awards, I'm adding links to
pages with photos or further commentary on the kazoos of each year that
I've got them for. I just put up one for the first year I made the
kazoos for, and thus have photos of the lot, ConChord 19 (2005). I'd
like everybody to go take a look at the layout and let me know if this
seems reasonable as a format before I make up the rest of them.

In particular, I want to know about the photo gallery/slideshow. Is the
current format ok, or should I add extra space on the bottom for the
labels, which currently float translucently on top of the bottom part of
the photo? Is the transition too fast, too slow, or fine as is? Would
you prefer the thumbnails on top or to the side rather than underneath
(frankly *I* find them a lot more convenient where they are, but if the
majority prefers otherwise I can move them easily enough)? Stuff like
that.

OK, that was brilliant - it's here:

The site seems fine, works good for me. Sometimes the float translucently
covers the award. (Mainly due to the camera being a little to close to
the award, but not a major deal.)

I have video of the award ceremony from ConChord in 1990. Would you want
to put that on your site?

The main thing I've discovered whilst working on this project is that I
need to take better photos of the awards. I'll be giving myself more
distance next time. As for the cover, they ALL cover portions of the
photo - would it look better or worse to add an extra block of space
beneath (well, actually TO) the photograph (probably just plain black)
for the labels?

Ooh yeah - how long is it? (For that matter, how large.)
