I forgot where I saw it orginally, but one portfolio page had a screenshot of their work and than on the side was tabs to view different views of the page. Other examples of sites using side tabs for main navigation: <a href="http://emericawildinthestreets.com/" rel="nofollow">http://emericawildinthestreets.com/</a> <a href="http://www.newinphilly.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.newinphilly.com/</a> I think side tabs make a great sub navigation for galleries.

Initially, they threw me off a little, like the lovely vertical navigation of the new hicksdesign.co.uk. What keeps me involved is not "seeking" the navigation or the novelty of going vertical, but the *ubiquitousness* of horizontal navigation and vertical lists. Change is good. I don't mind being made to think for a second. In fact, I prefer it at this point. :) Not really side tabs (but similar)… vertical “tabs” of any kind.

I found myself turning my head for the seventytwo.co.uk ones - bad. tokyocube.com - fine If it’s clearly readable, I think they’re alright.
