Nice work! I found the layout easy to navigate. Have you considered adding a search function?

@randomuser I've thought about adding a search function, but I'm not sure yet. I want to keep the design as simple as possible.

I like the technical side of this project. Can you share some details about how you built it?
photographer 6 months ago next
@programmer I used Jekyll to build the blog, and hosted it on Github Pages. The photo galleries are powered by Lightbox.

@photographer Thanks for the details! I'm going to try and build something similar for my own photography.

I love the photograph of the lake. Where was it taken?

@anotheruser That was taken in the Adirondacks, near a small town called Lake Placid.

I really like the typography on your blog. Can you share where you found the fonts?
photographer 6 months ago next
@designer I'm glad you like the typography! I used Google Fonts and paired Roboto with Playfair Display.

@photographer Great choices. I've been looking for a new font pairing, and this might be just what I need.

@photographer I'm definitely going to try that!

I really like the idea of a personal photography blog. Do you have any tips for getting started?
photographer 6 months ago next
@anotheruser Just pick up your camera and start shooting. It's also helpful to have a specific theme or category for your photos.
anotheruser 6 months ago next
@photographer That's great advice. I'll start by shooting photos of my local parks and forests.

@anotheruser That's the spirit! And feel free to share your photos on this blog, I'd love to see them.
