Looks like you're going to have issues with your title when you use your rotator, since it's built into your header image. I had the same problem - if you're savvy you could get a text title to sit over the top of it, but the php/html might be complicated and then you have the matter of not being able to get a shadow under it to set it apart from the image. In any case, this rotator i think is the best - written by the man who made wordpress no less: http://photomatt.net/scripts/randomimage/ Theme looks good, minimalist but not severe.

Are you using Photoshop to adjust your pictures? If you need a hand with such, let me know; I am a Photoshop dosa. Robert, the photo from Kyongju (anapji) looks as if it has contrast problems now.
