   Okay I have a question for the pros over here.
   On this site http://www.lmjo.nl/blikveld/index.php there is a photoblog combined with a "normal" blog.
   Is that possible to create in WP? And how difficult can that be?

   Basically, the site would be comprised of photo- and text-blog.

   The photoblog would be entries with a certain category (say, "photo") and it contains an image only.

   The text blog would be entries with any other categories (say, "rant", "life", etc) and it contains text (and maybe images).

   And what you'd do is to have two Loops in one page. One loop will display entries of category "photo"; another displays all the rest of categories.

   First things first: The site you've pointed to is using frames. This is not true integration.

   But to answer your question, yes, you can integrate a photoblog-type gallery in WordPress. In fact, there's a number of ways to do it:

   Addendum:
   My solution does not require any plugins, but does require WP's (possibly) advance technique.

   Isn't there some kind of photo blog program that runs on the back bone of WP? Or am I thinking of something else? Funny, I did a search and couldn't come up with it, but it had a catchy name.

   I will see if I can find it. I do recall that it was somehow tied into WP.

   Okay, I found it: Pictorialis:

   Maybe you can do something with that since it does run on WP? HTH.
