This experiment has turned into a fun although somewhat frustrating exercise. On the positive side there seems to be much potential for producing this type of photography gallery site. The flexibility is great and I expect site expansion will be very easy. What’s the downside?
So far I haven’t been able to produce html pages that mirror the look of the wordpress theme exactly. While I don’t think this really matters in many ways, I have a terribly bad habit of not being totally satisfied until everything is perfect. Sound familiar? I’ll get it some day.
In the meantime, I’ve expanded this idea into another site featuring photographs from Southeast Asia, namely Vietnam, Thailand and Laos. This site can be viewed at Southeast Asia Photographic Galleries if you want a sneak peak. Nothing like trying to debug two sites at once!
