Just wondered how easy it would be to integrate EE into another site. Particularly a Blog such as Wordpress.

I'm interested in adding an extra navigation menu to my blog / Wordpress site and have EE galleries come up as a page area within the blog (as Wordpress supports the concept of pages as well as posts). In theory I should be able to show a list of albums, have a means of viewing thumbnails and individual photos, but all within the theme's blog.

I'm guessing in the case of Wordpress I would just need a plugin that hooks into some kind of EE feed.

Anyone tried this or have any opinions on it?

However I'm also looking down the route of integrating my Flickr albums into Wordpress. It's possible Flickr might replace EE entirely as I'm questioning why I keep the two, other than currently my Flickr albums only host small resolution versions of my photos. Flickr has a lot of "community" benefits by comparison though.

I have made something. It's not a complete integration of EE into Wordpress. I have made the template of EE look like the template of Wordpress.

Look at here www.mgfotografie.nl

Looks great. Works really well.

I guess it's a bit of effort to do, but I'll take a look at the Wordpress template I'm using and see if I can adapt it for EE. I've not looked at EE styling though.
