Photoblogging with WordPress

Nobody can denied that  photography has become a full contact sport in our digital culture. Photo sharing services like Flickr encourage users to share their photos with their friends, family, and the world. To some photographers, including my friend Architecture Nexus, sharing the best of the best is a great creative outlet.

Some of the best photoblogs in WordPress use themes that showcase photos one at a time. Photoblogging began gaining in popularity a few years ago as sharing other rich media, such as videos and audio, became more prevalent.

WordPress is the most popular blogging platform, It also provides a popular blogging platform for photoblogs. Some of the best photobloggers use it to showcase their work, as you see in this article.

    Great article. There is a lot of good information here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Redhat with the latest beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of bizarre for me. I can read the articles, but the navigation doesnt function so great.

    I build my whole photo site, blog included, using WordPress and the Thesis theme: http://www.farrellkramer.net

    The galleries are exported from my Dripbook account, but there are lots of ways to accomplish that.
