… More WordPress Photo Galleries

Posted by nate within Design, Photography

For a long time now I’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic from search engines for my super old, and probably no longer working WordPress photo gallery plugin. I appreciate all the attention, but I really believe that with how awesome WordPress is these days, there are much better alternatives.

And without much ado, I would like to present to you a bunch of great WordPress photo gallery themes. Some cost money (usually the best ones), and some don’t. I’m not going to put the prices on here because I expect they’ll probably change over time. But, I highly recommend taking a close look at each of these photo gallery themes for WordPress. These are some of the best:

Modularity Wordpress photo gallery theme

Aperture - A WooTheme Photo Gallery Theme for WordPress

This is a great theme by WooThemes, who does some amazing stuff. I’ve actually purchased themes from WooThemes and been very impressed with the quality, so I expect if you’re a photographer looking for some kind of Wordpress gallery, you should find a good set of options there.

Is That a Broken Death Star or Is Your Social Graph Happy to See Me?

Posted by nate within Business, Community, Design, General, Techie

The image above, which looks like a broken Death Star, is actually a visual representation of my Social Graph (at least on Facebook).
Rather than explain what a Social Graph is, I’ll just tell you this. First, there’s a new kind of geek in the world now. I’ll call them the Social Geeks™. [...]

Signal to Noise: Twitter, Blogging, and Your Other Crap

Posted by nate within Community, Design, Development, General, Ideas, LinkLogs, Techie

One of my favorite authors, Seth Godin, recently touched upon the subject of signal to noise in social media and the web in general. It’s interesting to me that his perspective comes at such a fortuitous time as this. Literally, the day a few of us will be getting together to discuss the [...]

New Wordpress Theme, New Bugs and Blog Sponsorships

Posted by nate within Business, Community, Design, General, Ideas, Projects

As we all know, I dislike advertisements, so I’m working on a deal with the folks from hashtags.org. I love their service, but I hate the massive ads they placed up on the site. I talked with one of them about that and suggested they remove them or make them a little less annoying. Instead, we may be working out a trade where they’ll take my suggestion and drop the ad. They’re considering removing the ads simply because I’ve offered a trade. I will give them a sponsorship slot on this blog. The trade is much more in their favor as I get a ton more traffic than they do right now, but it’s worth it.

Quick Note: New Products Page

Posted by nate within Business, Community, Design, Development, General, Projects, Techie

I promise to keep this short and sweet. I wanted to formally announce my new products page, which will list all the products, scripts, etc that I’ll be selling from this blog. Unfortunately, pages are not included in the RSS feed for a blog, which is why I’m announcing it here and now.
What’s [...]
