Show me your customized Wordpress websites!

fotojennik · 19th of April 2012 (Thu)

I could browse through other 'Show me your website' threads, but I thought it would be nice to have one specifically for those using Wordpress as an entire website (information, galleries, and blog all combined).

[My wordpress site is a WIP and will be finished sometime soon hopefully -- I'm doing it all myself and learning as I go]

Just made it last week: http://GaryReynoldsImages.com. It's a work in progress.

I followed Tim's advice and use HostGator + Photocrati. The Photocrati folks have been very responsive to all my questions.

Cheers,

Gary

Here's mine: http://www.emilcrumhorn.com/.

Front-end is mostly as I want it, there's some tweaks left on the back-end to make my life easier. Main image management plugin in "NextGEN", lets me keep all images organized in one place. Then various customizations and further plugins.

It's hosted on a medium instance of AWS (Amazon Web Services) using a fairly typical Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) setup.

My blog (link below) is a somewhat jazzed up/customized Wordpress site based on the (free) "Aras" theme.

Superdaantje · 20th of April 2012 (Fri)

It is a simple dutch blog. Where I use a plug-in to show the flickr images on my site (as albums, Widget and when I want in the content. Really like this integration

Did some customizing at the plug-in so it fits my needs. I'm not satisfied but it works for now. Time is one the problems these days

Thanks all. Some nice sites so far. I like EC.Photo's a lot.

I started off and currently am working on something light and small.
It is just a free template, which I find very very limited -- actually would need to buy full version to even get access to gallery/portfolio templates. I'm not sure if I like the theme enough to do that.

so then I found a theme that I quite like that's the opposite -- fullscreen and dark-ish (link: http://themeforest.net/item/village-...=ThemeProvince)

Not sure where to go, I'll work on it some more this weekend since it is supposed to rain

I like your site, but I think you need a new logo

I might be able to help you out if you give me some ideas/starting points

I really do need a logo. I've tried, but I don't have the creative talent or the graphic skills to design one, so I defaulted to just the typed name.

I got in on this thread, so I'm anxious to see what he comes up with! I don't really know where to start with logo designs...like I said, I lack the creative talent!
