 * I was doing normal sql/php coding to create a website that:
    Allows users to 
   log in and comment against photos in a photo gallery. I will achieve this by 
   having a static front page where people log in and then select from a menu to
   go to various pages, one will be to the gallery page and comment against photos,
   there will be other pages as well. I don’t really want a blog 1. Can WordPress
   do this. 2. If it can how, I have spent about 4 days trying to get started, to
   even get a front page with full screen photo and menu system, it just seems so
   illogical.
 * HELP

 * You can certainly achieve this with WordPress.
 * Creating an image gallery on a page should be straightforward, organizing pages
   and creating menu is as well. For logging in you can use the default one (at 
   yoursite.com/wp-admin) and then installing a plugin to forward users to a certain
   page upon logging in. Another option is creating your own custom login page. 
   There’s lots of information online on that as well; here’s a decent tutorial:

 * In general, I would recommend that you attack one task at a time. That is, first
   figure out your page structure, then figure out creating an image gallery, then–
   commenting on images. Login/forwarding to a certain page part is a separate task
   that you can either do first or last, depending on whether you prioritize more
   complex tasks.
 * The learning curve may be steep at times, but it pays off every time. Good luck!

 * 1. Yes.
 * 2. If you gallery directs images to the attachment page, it’s easy because attachments
   support comments. I’m sure there are plugins to do this in a light box (normally
   expected gallery format) as well.
 * 3. If you restrict comments to logged in users, the comment link will prompt 
   for a login and/or registration, so you don’t have to code that yourself.
 * 4. One step at a time. Set up a basic WP site with a fixed front page. Then add
   a gallery to it. There are many, many (many!) plugins that provide galleries.
