I think people with no pictures should have a default picture... Maybe
'Barney' or something evil like that to encourage them to send in a pic.

Good job though. Any chance you'll clean the code up and release the
package in a form that others can use? I think its a very nice layout and
that other open source projects might like to make use of it.

If its backended into PostgreSQL it might make it easier for users to
manage their own entries. Picture submissions could be handled that way
with no intervention.

Anyhow, I'm rambling.
