After months of experimenting I got back to where I started from: Pixelpost. Pixelpost is a php-driven free software to present pictures fast, clean and easy to install. If your server or host meets the requirements (PHP 4.3 or greater (w/ GD-lib) & MySQL 3.23.58 or greater) you are able to set up this open-source gem in no time. It’s a standards-compliant, multi-lingual, fully extensible photoblog application.
And it seems that the community is active again – you find quite nifty and useful addons: from Ajax driven ratings to powerful tagging.
Here are some Photoblogs which are using Pixelpost (and you’ll see the different approaches and possibilities of ‘tweaking’):
- My Photoblog (of course)
- Lumières
- Justin Gaynor
- Laurent Batailley
- ps mrk (a russian artist)
- Greyscalegorilla
- One Eye Photoblog
If you feel I left an essential Photoblog unmentioned (almost sure about that) please comment.
I’ve been going mad trying to find a good template for either pixel post or wordpress and you show all those links that we can’t download templates anywhere in sight! grrr
