My site is www.zosimas.com using wordpress blog. I'm just using a basic template though, although I've been wanting to improve it so I am curious what others have to say here as well.
I have a WordPress blog, although it is mostly quilting with a side of photography. I am using the theme Twenty Fourteen, and one of the things I like about it is it's quite photo friendly. I also like this theme for having a magazine appearance to it. This theme is also easy to use plug-ins and widgets.
Comparing Charles' site and mine, I would say we are both using Twenty Fourteen. This is probably the 4th or 5th template I've had over the past 6-7 years, and it's by far my favorite. As far as plug-ins or widgets, what you're wanting to accomplish is probably going to be a little different than what I've done.
@zosimasy@featherstone@sudweeks@aliha@mastermek thanks everyone for your suggestions. Enjoyed looking at your sites, quite lovely. LOL, Mek. WordPress makes me tired too, but I'm retiring in a few months and am looking for ways to make my photography addiction self sustaining. I sell a few things at shows, just sold a print from my FB page. The local art guild has a member who graciously hosts our sites for free and also works individually with members as a tech consultant but she is not a photographer so hoping to get some good tips here.
I use the blog for the photos I don't upload here. Although sometimes it simply serves as a weekly summary of uploads where I can categorize and tag them.
@zosimasy Thank you, Charles...pretty nice of you to compliment, considering I'm sure quilts aren't quite your thing! I visited your site also, and very nice photos.

Default wordpress is not very secure, and sites running it are frequently attacked and compromised. I trust it a little more than this guy does -- http://blog.erratasec.com/2014/05/wordpress-unsafe-at-any-speed.html - but you got to be careful when using it.
I use http://365project.org :-)

Love the quilts :)
