Many of you have photographer's portfolio websites or use an online site for the same purpose. I thought I would draw your attention to an article about that subject and a few of the comments posted, which proved (rather than the norm) to be surprisingly useful. First, here is the article listing 6 of the usual suspects: http://petapixel.com/2015/07/10/6-top-online-photography-portfolio-hosting-options/
The informative part (for me) was the comments! I had never heard of Koken but it looks intriguing to me. http://koken.me It is free (with some premium themes and plugins). It is built for Lightroom integration, which may make it of special interest to some. As luck would have it, on July 9th, the developers are essentially putting it on "the block". I'm guessing that whoever buys it will want to further monitize it, so I've downloaded the installer now so that I've got the most mature free version, regardless of what happens going forward. Those who like Wordpress should check out the Photocrati template. It is not free, but incorporates a built-in shopping cart for those who wish to sell images online. http://www.photocrati.com/ I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I administer and design web sites for my employer's many varied businesses. Some of the sites are based on Wordpress, which has become something like 20% of all internet sites. It was a royal PITA to stay on top of (and a constant target of hackers) until I "discovered" the Wordfence plugin (which is a godsend). If you work with Wordpress, make that the first plugin you install and configure with a new installation. -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
