It would be rather cool if you could move the search bar into a drop down menu in the header…would take some doing however.

CSS bug. The base CSS file defines the searchform to be a block element 20px high, and the submit button is deliberately knocked down one like so it disappears. Wierd. Wonder why they didn’t just display: none it.

Ideally I should really move it into the header or something.

Interesting. You’re right, it’s definitely there. It looks like the search box is too wide and the submit button is getting knocked off the line, but that doesn’t make sense at all because it’s not in an iframe so there’s nothing that would be sitting on top of it. Unless the navigation box itself is not resizing properly.

I’ll investigate further.

I use firefox 3, here’s the screenshot - http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8372/57609118dz6.jpg

It’s highlighted blue because I clicked it to make it easier to see. Could be the pixel size was changed? So it doesn’t fully display, but that doesn’t make sense if all you did was move it. Like you said though, I don’t remember it having a submit button before.

I moved the search box down there deliberately, it broke the visual hierarchy of the page when it was at the top. I don’t think it’s ever had a submit button though.

I’m not 100% sure I understand what you mean. Can you throw me a screenshot? Are you perchance using Opera or IE?

I’m not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but your search button is only showing partially below entry field.

I have freed the site from its 780px shackles. God, this looks so much better with a bit of width to the content area.

Going to write my own gallery plugin I think. It’s been a while since I did any php though.

Disabled the ajax/javascript browsing of older entries since that’s always pissed me off.

Moved the search box down to the bottom because it was looking terrible where it was.

From what I can tell it’s possible to integrate Gallery2 and Wordpress (see http://codex.gallery2.org/Integration:WPG2), but it sounds like you want something pretty specific.

Yeah I’m not really wanting a gallery script - those are a dime a dozen - I’m wanting a decent integrated Wordpress plugin. And I want to be able to provide it the multiple resolutions / variations. Ideally integrated with Lightbox or similar too.

Going to probably have to code it all up myself.
