WordPress for photographers

With the idea of publishing his photos and information on the web, everyone interested in photos has probably played before. But dig deep into HTML? No Please not. But besides the photo gallery to have a blog, that is.

Fortunately, free software is offered today that does a lot of this basic work for you. WordPress belongs in this category. Originally intended for the publication of web logbooks, it has become a fully fledged content management system (CMS) developed. After creating the framework of the website, it is possible for the inexperienced to create new contributions at a CMS. And since there are ready-made, high-quality products for the scaffolding (so-called 'themes') for a few francs, this problem is also solved. Some of these 'themes' are tailored for photographers, a selection is available here to find. Since the website is viewed today on a wide variety of systems (smartphone, pad, laptop, etc.), the choice of a 'responsive theme' is inevitable; ie the display is adapted to the playback device.

The Photo Münsingen has taken on this topic. A seminar will be held at Photo Münsingen 2013 'Website for photographers' offered, which lays the basis for the website. The participant is ordered the web address, storage space is provided, WordPress is preinstalled and use is trained on the seminar day. The web hosting space is included in the seminar price until the end of 2013.
