Has anyone experimented with a Flickr style theme?

I'm thinking, in particular, of a theme that emphasizes CPG's keywords, which are the rough equivalent of Flickr's "tags."  Flickr displays its tags to the right of an individual image, and includes a link to add a tag to that image.

Not only does Flickr stress its tags, but it also puts two thumbnails from the album to the right, along with "Additional information" culled from the image's metadata.

See the attached image to see what I mean.

Anyone looking to emulate this look?  Or rather, anyone working on a template to emphasize keywords?

Thanks!

I haven't tried the Flikr theme, but I have added a hack to show different-sized keywords on the search page:

Cool!

Even if someone wanted to, it doesn't seem like they could make a Flickr theme, could they? Legal-wise.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to copy them closely or use their logo or anything.  I was just thinking of incorporating the tag concept into CPG in a way that emulated Flickr's functionality.

What I'm really trying to do is create an illustrated glossary, where the tags would be terms the users are interested in seeing illustrations of.

I haven't found a perfect solution for this, but CPG comes close.
