I love it. Any chance you might share the modification you made?

Also, what happens if no post image is submitted?

I am thinking of adding a "no thumbnail" image as default to the post image plugin or the idea of the theme is picture bookmarking so should make image submission compulsory.
PS: I dont know PHP or CSS I just do things on trial and error basis ;) so even if I share the mod I cannot support. asap

Well, you're still on to something! I think hotaru could benefit from a Gallery template. It would allow an entirely different type of site to be built based on that display. Good thinking.

Epoch,
For a person who do not know PHP or CSS. Congrats. It shows u have a basic grasp of the grid system - thus css. And having that grasp is all u need. My eyesight is not that good for I like to download the image to see clearly. But if u handle paging, page 1, etc mod then u demonstrated php puzzle solving. I like looking at Hotaru sites and there is a member with an active image gallery layout. Hotaru has lots of potential. How long did it take u to do?

thanks to the firefox firebug addon I was able to learn css quickly then for paging I just used the default from the basic theme. time taken:1.5hrs
