Hello all good people

I'm working on my new website and is looking for a good, simple easy to use CMS. I love wordpress and was thinking perhaps it was possible to run my site with it as the backend. I don't think it will be good as for managing my image galleries though. So here is my question;

Is it possible to make Wordpress and Pixelpost work together as a CMS? Any hacks or anything for that? I think that would rock. Don't even know if its possible though, hence my question.

Thanks

I cannot answer your question, but I do use WP and PP to run my blog and photoblog respectively. But they are not integrated really. I'm not sure I would want them to be. What do you gain?

I do the same as you at the moment for my sub sites.

I'm not sure if you understood what I tried to say. What I would gain from it is a website thats very easy to maintain when it comes to add new images and news posts etc. Saves me a lot of time. Earlier I've used to manualy update the site. Just adding a new picture to the gallery was a pain in the ass. Resulting in delayed updates and finaly getting sick of it. I'm talking about a fully function web portfolio here, not "just" a blog

Spendt most of the day yesterday testing out different content managing systems. Didn't really got much smarter.

I wish I was a good coder so I could make my own

Well, there are lots of plug-ins for WP that claim to make life easy to add photos. Back when I discovered PP none of those was easy for me, which is why I went to PP. Now I like the set-up I have so I have not investigated the plug-ins again. But if you look in the WP plugins you will find lots of options. One of them might be what you need.
