If the author indicates this is a design decision and the intent is a photoblog then it becomes more aesthetics than anything else which is not the WPTRT concern (unless it is "broken"), although if a *suggestion* was to be made I might consider something along the lines of using the post title as filler text when there is no image being presented ... of course that is working from the idea these archive images are linking to their respective posts.<br>

Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I'm reviewing a theme in which archive views do not use the_content() or the_excerpt(); they simply show the post's featured image, meaning nothing if there is not one attached. Weirds me out, but this is the author's intended behaviour (single views and the main loop include the_content() or the_excerpt()). It's properly tagged as a photoblogging theme.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I want to say at least stick in the_excerpt() myself... does anyone have a strong opinion or precedent they've set in a case like this?</div>
