   Does anyone have any suggestions for good, simple photoblog templates?

   I currently have a blog @ http://victoria-e.com/wordpress, but I'd like to practice my photography more & do a daily photoblog.

   Any suggestions would be most helpful :)

   This one kicks A#*$: http://www.bleecken.de/photos/
   (zen-photo template) download is here: http://www.bleecken.de/zenphoto/
   (original made by Douglas Bowman http://dbowman.com/photos/) for http://www.zenphoto.org
   while i suggest you follow Razzis advice and Tutorial here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/41732/ because then you dont need to set up a standalone-script. (if you want this you'll have to port the template into a WP-Template ...)
   furthermore if zenphoto isnt what you want or porting / creating an own template is too hard, you could take a look at http://www.folderblog.org , that has two beautiful templates named Relaxation and Almanac (both designed by Jowra) and im using it on my own site two. maybe i find time to release my template soon...

   Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

   I've been trying to get http://www.blueblurry.com/bb-theme-20/ to work but I've been having nothing but problems.

   I'll check out the ones that you suggested now :)

   np, in order to see a few more folderblog customizations take a look at the link "get featured" on the folderblog-main page (remember fb isnt a plugin for wp, but similarly its a template based system that brings comments, rss, exif, nice urls, and so on - btw: no need for mysql-db)
   http://www.contact-sheet.de/
   http://www.jowra.de/photos/
   http://elwing.byethost.com/gallery/fb.php
   are all based on fb too :) if you have questions on fb-usage or install ask here directly as i'd like to keep developer donald tetto from answering requests as far as possible, let me know in case you need help.

   I run a photolog whose theme I created (and consequently think is simple and good looking). It does thumbnails and all the links are really clean, none of this .php?p=4&cat=4 stuff. I've released all relevant code here, though it is not a simple throw-the-files-in-and-it'll-work system, yet.

   That bit I am working on, though I can help anyone who is otherwise interested in incorporating changes.
