Design Decision - Images in my blog

Not sure how I ran across this website, but Philsblogging.com write about a lot of things I write about. Just a few days ago, we got into a really good debate talking about the Mac Vs PC, Zune, iPod, Vista and lots more. Check it out here in his blog post - Restoring The Faith.

What does this have to do with my design decision? Well this afternoon, I stepped back from my website and tried to imagine what a first time visitor would see. I'm happy with the look and feel of the site, there is a consistent design across all the pages and is minimalist to make sure the content gets the focus, but it's missing something... its missing colour.

I like my current layout, colours and format - so how do I solved this dilemma? I looked at Philsblogging and noticed what made it attractive. Images, more importantly, small thumbnails that complement its blog post.

I have never been a fan of adding images to posts, mainly because they are hard to manage and keep track of. They can also build up pretty quickly and get out of hand if you don't have good organization.

So, here goes...

• Mainly going to stick to JPEG format, until the APNG format becomes popular.
• Try to liven up the post with pictures.
• Keep the images organized.
• Find Drupal utility to help manage the images.
