Smugmug/Wordpress integration

Hi everyone! I've spent a bit of time integrating a Wordpress root domain with Smugmug on a subdomain and wondered if people have any issues with display on either of these?
I have the main site here (on Wordpress) and the Smugmug part of it for the gallery at this page. I know the background is different on them (shrunk to fit on Smugmug) but is there any other glaring differences? I know it displays differently on different browsers/ resolutions so was wondering if anyone had any problems with the Smugmug side of things!
I would be really grateful for any tips or suggestions on how to improve it!

Best wishes,
Tom

    Overall your site looks very good. The one thing that jumps out at me and that I feel detracts from your site is your use of ads on all parts of your site other than your blog entries. My eyes immediately go to the ads and not to your site content.

    I've just had another look at your site, this time on my phone.

    Your logo and the first words on your site are the same. I'd leave the "SPECTACULAR EDINBURGH" logo and remove the matching words below your menu. This jumped out at me more on the phone than on my computer but the duplicate words are not needed in either location.

    The block of lines in the upper right that represents the menu is not initially visible on my phone held in portrait mode. It appears to overlap the menu.

    On the phone, I am unable to click on one of the small images in your gallery to see the same image (larger) in lightbox. You are using the smugmug gallery style but on the phone only the grid of thumbs is shown - the larger image is missing.

    The spacing and weight of your menu is different between the smugmug and wordpress portions of your site. One of them should be changed to match the other.

    The menu entries on the phone in the wordpress section of your site do not match the menu entries when viewed in on my computer. The order and words should match.
