Featured Images

I would like to ask if it would be a possibility to increase the number of featured images on the front page ? Perhaps to 6 ? Thus displaying a greater variety of image types at one time.
Prompting me to suggest this was when introducing the site to a non-member friend the 3 featured images were of a similar type and generated very little interest to that particular visitor.
Alternatively perhaps it could be configured so that at least 2 diferent genres are displayed?
Right now there are 2 waterfall photos and a sky photo, most attractive to me personally but not to everyone's taste. It would be good if there were a fractal or a cg image included.

This site has some good CGI and fractal work. Separate slots for Computer and Abstract galleries would I think enhance the front page with a bit of diversity.

I still think that the winning picture of a contest deserve a feature on the front page for a couple of days.

I don't mind if there are 3 similar pictures featured on the front page, they are only there for about 5 or 10 minutes!

It's impossible to get every ones taste on the front page at the same time, if there are 6 featured images on the front page, the chance is big that there is none of your taste too.

It's fine the way it is now, every 5 or 10 minutes 3 new features on the front page....in my humble opinion that is of course :o)

I dont mind only 3 images either but Visitors are not going to hang about for 5 or 10 minutes - first impressions are the ones that count, and 3 landscape images do not give a true indication of the diversity of work available on the site.
I was just thinking from a visitors point of view . . .
Having said that there are 3 very different images featured right now - luck of the draw I guess.

Already tabled, Lyn and Chris.

*caedes is considering some changes to the front page layout. Have to be patient.

@Lyn.....Sorry, for the miss understanding from my side, you was seeing it from a visitors point of view and yes, your right, than it can be boring to see 2 or 3 similar pictures on the front page and not being interesting for a visitor for a further look on the site.
