I have been playing around with my photoblog for over a year. I have tried various blogging platforms and plugins in search of an easy way to manage a photoblog. The quest was elusive and, as a result, I never really gave the photoblog the attention it deserved.

I finally got around to updating my photoblog to run on Wordpress (special thank you to YAFB - Yet Another Photo Blog). So what does this mean? A few things. Most importantly, it means that I will frequently update the photoblog. It also means that you can comment on individual photos (if you wish). Finally, for those of you reading along in your feed reader, the photoblog now his its own RSS Feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/mikeoliver-photography).

There are still some bugs (I can’t figure out the archive pages) and some ommissions (I need to add links back to the main blog and create a few pages), but its up and running and now the design matches the design employed at mikeoliver.org proper.

I hope you enjoy.

Quick WordPress tech note for anyone looking to direct 100% of their feed traffic to their FeedBurner feed. Steve Smith has a dead simple plugin that redirects all of your subscribers to a single FeedBurner feed. It took me approximately 5 minutes to set up.

Update: On another note, when did sitemeter start tracking “out clicks”? It’s useful to see what links people actually follow when leaving your site.
