Hi all

I would like to set up a photoblog because I think that, once it is set up, it will be a lot quicker to use a blog than to faff about with html which I have to for my current website.

Hence, I have installed wordpress and am now looking for a decent photoblog theme, but have had little success so far. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I quite liked the looks of cyKey's but, to use the Durable theme that he has seems to require some in-depth knowledge of css and php (I'm a complete noob at this)

Are there any out-of-the-box solutions which I could use and perhaps customise the colour themes?

Thanks
 
The Durable theme is quite easy to use. It can be installed like any other theme. Its just that I decided to customize it to suit my own tastes more than anything. I found very few photoblogging themes for WP, which was annoying. Themes I liked included;

They can all be tweaked or used as a photoblog I think. Nice themes.
 
I've actually been meaning to upgrade my site from Mambo and gallery to Wordpress and Gallery2. As I never have time to do it, I've just been a lazy so and so and got my host to update it for me :D

I quite liked that Citrus theme, so I've added that. I'll stick the link back in my comment when I've finished tweaking it next week :)
 
*sigh* Well I ended up doing it all myself (also accidentally deleted it all once, too. My, I was happy).

As you can see it's far from finished as I've got to reupload all my photos (well, probably only a few as I'm getting picky now :D).

Thanks for the links above, they were helpful in finding a theme I wanted. I had to ditch the citrus theme as it didn't do what I want, so I've just edited this one :)

Just need a plugin to link coppermine shots to the front page now. I saw one before, so I'm sure I'll find it again tomorrow night.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it (baring in mind I installed coppermine for the first time 10 mins ago and haven't had time to trawl through the readmes), why does it show the photo you uploaded as a "random file" and also displays it in the folder you put it in? Probably something simple, but as I say, I haven't had time to go through properly.
