WordPress Themes

[CCB]

With so many themes available for WP, does anyone have a favorite that is particularly well suited to LF photography?

[Kirk Gittings]

Excellent Question!

I use Rockettheme and more recently, Woothemes.

Not sure what would distinguish a theme suited to photography different than one suited to LF Photography--but maybe that wasn't you question.

I don't have experience with a ton of themes but I do like http://www.elegantthemes.com/. I use one of theirs and find it clean and easy to customize. There are quite a few good ones on here too:

I use http://devpress.com/themes/hatch/ they have a few other options made for photographers, I found it very simple to put together and it looks like this http://aluncrockford.com/wordpress/

This may sound dumb but can a Wordpress site do essentially the same things as a regular site.

I suppose that depends on what your expectations are of a regular site. WordPress used to be considered an open-source platform to create a blogging website, but it has been revised to a general content management system. WordPress-based themes overlay the basic WordPress structure to create a custom look for your website.

The problem is that WordPress has proven to be so popular that you have to continually maintain and update it for security leaks, because it is so popular it draws a lot of hackers and spam. If I have to nerd out and do back ups and updates as often as WP recommends I'd go nuts.

frank is right. if you have custom themes or modified from free themes you need to have it properly coded for updates of wordpress and backups.. i'm using free template that i modified on one of my site. everytime wordpress ask for update i make sure i have my modified theme backup. even the plugins i've modified. sometime it's PITA. but i have to get used to it since its FREE.
