I have started a photoblog and set my main website url to redirect to it. It had a fancy static page so the decision was not hard. I already have this blog and a huge photo repository on flickr, plus a dedicated portfolio website, then why this ? I can show my ongoing best work in bigger size in this photoblog and it is worth all the trouble.
So, here is how I arrived at this decision:
1. My main website http://joydutta.com had a static page with a bunch of links, not doing anything useful.
2. The regular blog (this one) is mostly for writing articles, and not for displaying pictures in large sizes.
3. While flickr is a great tool, it shows images in a tiny size by default. It can be my regular image repository.
4. My dedicated portfolio site http://joyduttaphoto.com is a static collection of best images of specific categories and it will stay that way.
With all the web based tools, I was lacking a way to showcase my ongoing favorite images in big size in a clean, easy-to-manage site. A pixelpost based photoblog filled that need just perfectly. The install involved downloading the pixelpost framework from and the install was a breeze. Then I downloaded the template the-world-in-35mm and tweaked it to make it fit images at most 900px wide.
Please visit http://joydutta.com which will take you to the photoblog. If you like it then it would be nice if I get a positive vote about it on my coolphotoblogs profile.
