Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

I have looked at several posts about integrating a WordPress Blog with SmugMug and I'm thoroughly confused. How do I get my WordPress Blog to look like my SmugMug site? I'm not a techy.

I think you would need a self hosted wordpress blog to be able to customize it:

You can actually do a fair bit of customizing with either type of Wordpress account. For a Wordpress-hosted account, CSS customization is an add-on called Custom Design that costs $30/year. This provides the ability to customize whatever Wordpress theme is applied, using a CSS window (similar to what Smugmug provides). From a customization point of view, a self-hosted account simply lets you choose from more themes and customize more of the files directly, and does let you alter CSS without paying extra, but (again, like Smugmug) all that does is make customization more accessible to CSS programmers, not photographers.

The workflow, Angela, would be to first apply a Wordpress theme that most closely matches your Smugmug site, and then customize that to match your Smugmug site. Unfortunately, while most Wordpress themes have a number of easy controls for changing a few basic appearance options, like with Smugmug those controls don't go nearly far enough, so to do any significant customization you are forced to dig into the CSS eventually (or hire someone to). So you would have to buy the Custom Design option at Wordpress.com to be able to use CSS to change the look and layout enough to match your Smugmug site.
