Hi

I am an aspiring professional photographer and currently showcase my work here:

http://www.facebook.co​m/SamanthaBlackPhotogr​aphy1 (external link)
http://www.facebook.co​m …Photography?ref​=ts&__a=6& (external link)
http://www.flickr.com …amantha-blackphotography/ (external link)

I am being asked for a website address and business card, more and more but I do not have either (yet). To be honest I feel that I really get myself a clean and professional looking blog done in this transitional period as the FB and Flickr are not suitable marketing media for potentially paying clients.

Can anyone recommend any blogs that are worth looking into? Wordpress is one that i have heard quite alot. I am interested in somthing that looks really clean, professional and as much like a website as possible. Easy to use and quick to load is also a bonus.

Thanks in advance, and a very happy new year to everyone :-)

Sam

Absolutely. I'm a fan of the autofocus theme, myself.


[50D/BGE2] -> [580 EXII / Cactus V4] -> [28mm f/1.8EX] or [70-200mm f/4L] or [50mm f/1.4EX]
