Wedding Blog Suggestions?

Hello all !

As wedding season is starting to take off for me in my new city of San Francisco, I am realizing that I need a new blog. I had one for many years through portfoliositez, and I have let it lapse as I feel like their technology and templates are a bit behind the times.

My main website is up and running on a template I purchased but the blog that comes with that template is terrible, and no good for displaying wedding and engagement photos.

so I guess my questions is this:
Does anyone have any suggestions on a relatively simple, relativity cheap and easy blog that I could set up and link over to my main website?

Thank you! :smile-new:

Kristen. Wordpress is simple and has a number of options in terms of styles. There are free ones, inexpensive ones and dearer ones.

I'm not a fan of wordpress I find it to be insanely complicated and time consuming.
(my current site is running on WP and it took me near 4 months to get it set up and figured out)

Interesting especially considering WP is supposed to be a simple design maximised for ease of use.
Maybe something like Squidoo then (now part of HubPages)

I can't really think of another engine you can use in your own domain unless it offers its own (squarespace, wix, all those types). I'd say easiest would be to have such a provider host everything to use their visual builders. Next would we wordpress. And lastly making everything completely on your own.

I know the pains of using WP and I had a similar problem myself - theme was great to display photos, and nothing else. I currently moved to themeforest Bridge and it's been relatively good and simple enough.

I guess what I'm looking for are blog templates. That is probably the correct terminology.

I have a number of Wordpress sites up and running. They are quite easy to set up especially for a blog. I guess it all depends on getting a decent template to start with.

From my own search, Oshin and Bridge from Themeforest are pretty solid all-around. Best thing I can advise is to go play w/ their demo sites and see if they work how you'd want them to or not.

Great thank you!!!

The only other trick w/ WP is either finding a theme that works perfectly out of the box, or a solid baseline and then all the plugins that will compliment it exactly the way you want. This mostly pertains to keeping all the gallery taxonomies if you try to move from theme to theme, but another and perhaps a better way is to keep everything organized in your hard drives in case you have to reboot a site completely.
