Blogging for Photographers

With the huge expanding nature of blogging and sharing your photography through an online blog, there’s been a lot of photo-blog projects started, and while many are quite good (and also inspirational), others have been started and it’s pretty obvious from the start that while the photos may be decent – the blogging platform has left a little to be desired.

The WordPress Platform

That leaves a question mark on many peoples minds – How do you set up a photo blog?  What system should you use?  Are there any special features or “must have” elements?  Kerry Garrison (of Camera Dojo) and I tackle this popular question on this week’s show, Episode #48 of Learning Digital Photography:
