You guys know that I am crazy about blog design and themes etc, but I am not a designer.

I realize, that blog designing is not just about colors and header images but lot of other things, including information architecture and user experience.

I do follow a lot of blogs by wordpress designers. I enjoy reading about their experiences and experiments ; I get to learn a bit about blog layouts, blog architecture and blog designing ( at least I know these terms.right? )

I have seen many crazy orkuteers who keep updating their album on a daily basis. If you are  one of them, orkut has a new feature for you. You can now “drag n drop” photos to re order them in the same album.

Here is what you need to do, in order to re-arrange your photo album

1 Login to Orkut > Albums > Album that you want to edit >
2 Now, Click on “Reorder photos”
3 Drag and re-arrange your photos you wish
4 Save

I know it’s a good feature, but I am expecting more here. How will you move photos from one album to another ? There is no option for this at the moment. When will you enable this feature pleas ?
