I've read some great articles about how to SEO your Word Press blog, I'll talk to the authers to see if its okay if I repost them here. I think many users out there will find some use out of them. |

Are you going to install the rss feed hack so that we can add our blog's rss feed to our profile? |

It's kind of like MySpace, I guess, but on a smaller and more secure (IMO) level |

I have a few blogs (Wordpress) but I probably wouldn't consider myself a blogger. I seem to spend more time setting them up and tweaking them rather than actually posting. |

I'm still a bit new to it  | Thanks!
Most of my tweaks have to do with getting Wordpress to work together with Gallery. I'm not really a coder though. I'm just good (or very lucky) with trial and error. I've added a link to my dev site if you want to have a quick look at what I do. Anyway, my dev site allows me to play around with Wordpress so I can use it on my main site (our family's website).

| Re: are you a blogger ? oh ya ? I need to do some work on my wife's new blog A-Sheley Studio on the gallery.. I'm using this script //WP plugin: ANIga gallery//animalbeach.net
I like it, but I need to add a description to each photo.. The one you linked to, will it do that ? do you have an example on your site I can check out ?

| Re: are you a blogger ? With Gallery, you can pretty much do whatever you want. It's very powerful, feature rich and can be a stand-alone website. There are also many plugins to embedded Gallery in other packages (php-Nuke, Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, etc.). I just happen to prefer the Wordpress + Gallery combination.
On the downside, many feel it's too bulky and complicated to use. I don't mind too much because I only use a fraction of the features. Gallery is modular so I simply don't install all the other features. As for complexity, I don't mess with Gallery too much either. Since it's embedded in my Wordpress site, the Gallery theme/layout doesn't matter too much.
You certainly can add descriptions to each photo/album. In fact, you can have captions, summaries and descriptions. Unfortunately, I can't show you this on my website. We have almost 4,000 photos on our family website and I guess we've been too lazy to add descriptions for the photos. Still, you're more than welcome to have a look: Gallery » The Cal Family
There are a lot of very cool Gallery sites out there. Here you can find some related to art and photography: Samples- Art & Photography | Gallery
From there, I found this art-related Gallery site which I think looks pretty cool: Dan Steeves
And here's an example of a Wordpress + Gallery (WPG2) site which I think has been done well: Gonewalkabout - Online Gallery with Travel and Photoblogs
By the way, I hope you don't get the wrong idea. I'm hardly an expert on blogs, galleries and the like. Most of the time I don't even know what I'm doing. :o

| Re: are you a blogger ? I did try blogging months ago (and made a couple of disturbing entries) as I hate blogging as a rule. That said, I was in a pi**ed off state when the entries were made. 2 in total. Anyhow, I'm not really a blogger. I did go to my blog (free hosted) and it's been suspended. lmao They must have been offended. :1appl: |

Best of luck with it  | Mines just winding up local issues and wannabe small notpoliticians, got responses on holes in the road, our electricity supply blowing up at least once a week, and speed ramps, with a local councillor asking me to pass a message on to him/her lol. Havnt even warmed up yet  I love politics.

| Re: are you a blogger ? I thought I'd killed blogspot looooool, hopefully its their servers, did see something about maintenance.
Todays diary, I'm now apparently a dog murderer - woot ? Makes you think twice about doing this blog stuff, I dont think I can actually delete wierdo reply, unmoderated anonymous posts ? {thought we was all capable of adult debate - apparently not}
Ok from the top, it's a community blog, to get to and wind up the highly paid local gummint officials, just crappy stuff about where's our local policeman - on baby leave, and general life stuff about our neighbourhood.
I touched someones raw nerve :/
If you havnt fallen asleep by now  we're having big concrete bumps to slow down the traffic, of which I'm total opposed to - running a sports car, and are they going to pay for my suspension?
So someone has sent me a nasty mail virtually saying because I oppose the speed bumps, Iv'e just killed her dog ?? next she'll be saying I let it out and run over it myself.
Cant get in to vent my feelings. Luckily, due to the e-m I know whois.
If it was on my vb site {BAN} springs to mind :=) I do take things personally, so Iv'e been p****d off all night.
Daughter has got her new Dodge Caliber ? today thats the sad news.
