photographyblogsites.com is built using WordPress. But not the traditional version, the less supported WordPress MU. The MU stands for 'Multi-User' and allows you to set-up a network of blogs. You could use this for yourself to run all your sites from the same backend, or you do what we did and set-up a system to allow anyone else to come along and easily sign-up for a new site. With the upcoming release of WordPress 3.0, these two branches will be merged and with it, the support and documentation for a site like PhotographyBlogSites will hopefully improve. But up until that happens, the only real support has been through the folks at WPMU DEV. I recently posted about some of the more technical, developer heavy plugins used on PhotographyBlogSites on my own site. You can read that here. But I wanted to post here about a few of the plugins we have used

We have just released a new plugin that solves one of those annoying little blog issues for photographers. When uploaded images are slightly too big for the content area of your blog they can either pop out the side of your blog posts or squish in an attempt to match the width of your blog. After all the work you put into your images, it is a shame to see them destroy the layout of your site, or end up distorted by squeezing the width. The fix is here - PhotoBlog Image Fixer. You can search for it through your WordPress plugin browser and install it automatically. You can also download it from WordPress. Once it installs, and is activated, it takes care of itself. No settings to worry about. Nothing else to do.
