This is the best and the easiest template to adapt to your photography site. I m using it with some tweaks on the Moroccan Photographer. Added a custom homepage using some simple php code and jquery to insert latest photos. If anybody is interested, feel free to contact me.
love this template... modified css a bit and added few links. my site: http://www.33snaps.com
A supplement to what I write a year ago... after more than one year of use I notice substantial increase in organic search hits. This is truly SEO (Search engine optimize) template. Hitendra Sinkar Photography - Photoblog

very NICE ! My Gallerys: scenephotos
My Site: TYPO3 Internet Agentur Frankfurt
love it, was getting really frustrated with ppost until i found this template, clean, functional and smart, cant ask for more.
This is the best template!, thanks Joe!
I've used this template, on my site: Pedro Bellido
Love this template, thanks.
Thank you very much for making this template available. I've been using pixelpost for a couple of years now and have been looking for quite some time for a clean and fresh template - this one is perfect.
I've used this template, with a few modifications, on my site here - thedailyexposure.com.
Thanks again...
Thanks, this suited my client perfectly. Great instructions too. This was my first project using Pixelpost.
I'm getting 404's for the pages other than Index...and when I made the changes to the index as instructed, i got parse errors...any ideas?
Wonderful template! Its what I was looking for. Its not easy to install, but its worth the effort.
Im using it with some minor changes in my blog: "tilomilo" (www.sergiomc.com/photoblog)
Thans for your work, Joe!
I would love to say perfect, but Ive been trying to understand and apply this instructions for the last 5 hours. I understand that for a programmer this should take 5 minutes. please understand that some of us are just photographers trying to have a nice blog. I love the look and clean feel and got the front page working. The page by page addon just shows like a bunch of code on the addons page and reflects that on my blog. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope I get to figure out the instructions.
Awesome! This is the template I've been searching for! Please forgive the newbie question, but why do I get an error 404 when I click on any of the other site pages (browse, downloads and about)...what else should I be doing to get these working?
@Arnd...thanks for the tip regarding 'Image Statistics' addon
Great template, really cool. I only have one problem using Firefox and RSS. I alwasy get the following error: XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity Location: http://www.mywebsite.de/feeds/rss.xml Line Number 2, Column 1: ^. Internet Explorer is working fine. Any ideas ? Thanx
This template is wonderful. Thank you for your great work, Joe.
@michaelsharman: You have to install the "Image Statistics" addon.
Beautiful template Joe, I'm only have 1 small problem which is the "view" counter which I can't get to work. I can't see where this is referenced in the code either.
Any ideas?
Great template, thanks! How can I use it without rewrite_mod?
