|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Online portfolio - what software do you use? Osamu Chiba, Photographer Vista | CA | USA | Posted: 9:28 PM on 07.16.10 ->> I've been working on my website, and am wondering how others are displaying their portfolio online. I probably must say this first: I am not going to sign up for LiveBooks or any other hosting companies (I have absolutely nothing against LiveBooks or anyone - simply I am stuck with my current web host.) My site is wordpress-based so anything that works with wordpress will be good (and of course the cheaper the better). Also, I speak PHP + MySQL so a little bit of tweaking will be no problem. Is anyone using lightbox? http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ It hasn't been updated for 2 years, but still good? Or anything else to recommend? Oh yeah, I do have a copy of PhotoShelter Survey Data (2009) so I will follow that. Show me your online portfolio! Thanks. O  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have seen Zenfolio briefly, but anything that treats wordpress as plug-in does not appeal to me. My approach is the other way around, and I am not going to change. Maybe I should have asked what wordpress plug-in is popular for online portfolio? O  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If I have not succumbed to stress. Not being an HTML guy I resort to the drag and drop, "what you see is what you get" approach to site building. Designing for Dummies, I know. I am building my own site only because my HTML guy retired. As I understand it you can use Viewbook to add albums and folios to any website built with just about any software. Here is a link to my first build attempt www.PhotoActiveInc.com which I built through www.PhotoBiz.com and which I discovered has a lot of limitations.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

They have a very nice collection of Wordpress templates.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
