 * Hello,
 * I realise this question might have been answered before and if so I’m sorry. 
   I tried searching but it did not answer what i wanted.
 * So,
    I am creating a photoblog. Thing is it’s also gonna serve as a regular blog.
   I’m not so good at coding a WP theme myself, so I’m looking for a template that
   lets me post both regular entries and photo entries. Is this foolish of me, or
   does anyone of you guys know of a theme that could suit me?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Ok. I’m struggling with the same problem. I’ve found multiple options, none do
   all the things I want. Here is what I’ve found.
 * 1. Yet Another Photo Blog(YAPB) Plugin & Grain Theme – Has some good looking 
   themes, puts EXIF info and regular post text below the image, supports different
   categories for the image, has nice archive/mosaic pages, has a sidebar widget
   and relatively good support. BAD – the plugin creates a separate section for 
   the photo, so if you decide to not use it then you have to repost everything!
 * 2. Nishita Theme – [http://brajeshwar.com/documents/readme/nishita-v1-wp.html](http://brajeshwar.com/documents/readme/nishita-v1-wp.html)–
   It looks amazing on both the front page and has a wonderful archive page. BAD–
   I’m not FTPing a resized image and matching thumbnail for a daily post.
 * 3. Nautilus Theme – [http://geek.marinegirl.co.uk/nautilus/](http://geek.marinegirl.co.uk/nautilus/)–
   Clean, beautiful and written on the K2 theme which I’ve had very good experience
   with. BAD – No longer supported for WP2.5 and no widgets at the bottom.
 * 4. Photoblog Plugin – [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/photoblog/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/photoblog/)–
   Not crazy about the look. Haven’t seen any with widgets at the bottom. Haven’t
   really test drove this one yet
 * 5. PhotoQ Plugin – [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/photoq-photoblog-plugin/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photoblog-with-regular-posts/?output_format=md)–
   Very nice Next and Previous thumbnails, wonderful ability to upload multiple 
   images for multiple posts at once!! BAD – No categories or archives or sidebars
   or widgets. And I’ve had trouble installing it for some reason.
 * 6. WP Pix – [http://www.wp-magazine.se/free-theme-wp-pix/](http://www.wp-magazine.se/free-theme-wp-pix/)–
   The black and neon green turn my stomach, but the layout, popdown tab with other
   images, and archive/portfolio pages are very nice. BAD – Only one category and
   requires some custom fields work.
 * More goodies here: [http://www.teknobites.com/2007/08/30/photoblog-themes-for-wordpress/](http://www.teknobites.com/2007/08/30/photoblog-themes-for-wordpress/)
 * What I’m looking for:
    1. Large front image – 640×480 minimum 2. Categories and
   Archives pages with thumbnails of work! And a way to access those pages from 
   the front page. 3. Nothing additional to the typical posting process (special
   image types, custom fields, or ftp action.) 4. Thumbnails of other posts on front
   page. Next and previous will work, random thumbs is better. 5. Bottombar (like
   a Hemingway theme) where widgets can be added for additional information and 
   flexibility. 6. A popdown menu (ala HemingwayEx – [http://www.nalinmakar.com/hemingwayex/](http://www.nalinmakar.com/hemingwayex/))
   to hide some of the clutter of navigation.
 * I’ve tried hacking my desires into several of these, with nothing but wasted 
   hours and a css mess to show for my effort. Let me know if you stumble across
   something that fits your bill – – – or mine.

 * PhotoQ has a very sticky install. I did not go to the trouble.

 * Sorry didnt see that post… Actually Nautilus seemed nice, but seems it is discontinued,
   so much for that…
 * The perfect theme for me would perhaps have one part photoblog and one part blog–
   as in one photo/page for the photoblog section of the page, and more like a regular
   blog on the blog section.
