Just wanted to post a quick update to say thank-you to everyone who replied to the last update with suggestions and comments! Based on your feedback, I have made a few more changes around here.
The home page has had some content shuffled around, I have optimized all pages for smaller resolutions (1024x768) too, and, I have implemented a Style Switcher! If you're on the home page, you'll see "Choose Your Style" with 3 small colored squares underneath it. Click a square to change the header image and the site colors - go on, try all three! ;) I'll be adding new headers on a regular basis, so enjoy!
As usual, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on improving the site!

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce version 2.0 of AdrianaLimaFan.net - including a brand new layout and some much-requested new features to enhance your browsing experience!
- The new layout is a lot cleaner and fresher than the old one. The familiar drop down menus are still at the top of the page, but everything else has been cleaned up and tidied to look neat, organized, and pleasant to the eye.
- All gallery pages now show more content on a single page - so less having to click Next, Next, Next to get to the page you want! Category pages now show 40 albums per page (up from 20 in the last layout) and albums now show 60 images per page (up from 30). This will make it easier to find things as there'll be less pages to hunt through.
- The front page now showcases the most recently updated albums and videos, instead of only the most recent images (though they are still there too, of course!). This gives a broader range of everything new added since your last visit, and helps ensure you don't miss a thing!
- I have installed a piece of Javascript called Lazy Loader. This will only loads images you are looking at, so browsing to a long page with many thumbnails, won't automatically make you download ALL thumbnails - only if you scroll down. Faster page loading times and faster browsing for you!
- Every album now has a new Download All option. This has been much requested in one form or another by visitors. Unfortunately I was not able to implement any method that would let you download zip files, it would simply put too much strain on my server. Instead, I have opted for a page that lists all images in an album as links. Then, using your favorite Download Manager (I'd recommend DownThemAll for Firefox, but anything similar will work fine), select the links below you want to download, and simply right-click > Down Them All to save all photos to your computer.
- The various News Feeds on the front page (Site Updates, Twitter, and Google News) have been arranged in tabs for a more organized look. The tabs work with cookies, so the next time you visit, it will display the tab you last looked at, remembering your preference!
Those are the main new features, but there's small improvements made all over the place - simply too many to list! I have tested the new layout in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Camino, Opera, and IE6 - it should work fine as long as you have an up-to-date browser. If you come across any bugs or errors, or simply would like to comment on the new layout, please don't hesitate to contact me! All ideas and suggestions for improvements are more than welcome. :)
