FAQ

Here’re some tips on how I built this website since I got quite a few emails asking me for that.

Obviously the website is built on WordPress. It’s simply the best blogging web-tool out there. I don’t think it needs much introduction here.

The theme I’m using is Fullscreen with some custom modifications – clean easy to use theme specifically designed for photoblogging.

In terms of managing the photos, Smugmug is an excellent service for that. In fact all my images are hosted on Smugmug. For visitors of Maestro Illuminist Photography, you can enter this Smugmug coupon

In addition, GD Star Rating helps to manage user ratings on both posts and comments.

Last but not the least – Contact Form 7. It’s a really versatile WordPress plugin that lets you put a contact form wherever you need it. I’d also strongly recommend Really Simple CAPTCHA to go with the contact form to save you some headache over spams.
