Re: [Ids-devel] new feature

[Daryl S. <dw...@mi...>]

I really am interested in the hit count to see what photos are
popular & building a gallery off that.  I think it might be useful
to have the "popular gallery" option of containing X number of
the most popular photos from each album.  When they click on one
of the popular images, in addition to the normal layout, there could
be a link to take them to the album index page containing the popular
photo (photo subjects tend to be grouped together).

That way if your site contains hundreds of photos, people can find 
the good ones and be "lured" into viewing more.  Viewers are always
curious what other people find interesting.  Looking at my apache
stats, I have seen people come to my site, start viewing the first 
album index and then shortly leave (without having viewed the best 
pictures buried in another album.)
