melissapapajphotography Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 <p>I am in serious need of a new blog and am thinking about getting one from ProPhotoBlogs? Has anyone done their blog through this company? If so, what are the pros and cons or do you know of a better blog company? Right now I just have a free blogger site and it definitely shows :) Thanks in advance!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_dc Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 <p>I can honestly say there are no cons that I've found to their sites. The software is very easy to use, super customizable, and their support is unparalleled. I just upgraded to ProPhoto3 and they've added very nice new gallery features -- before I was embedding SlideshowPro galleries, and it was a bit of a pain, this new feature is worth the price alone. Feel free to see my blog-site at www.classicmaineweddings.com to see what mine looks like.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_t5 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 <p>i think like 90% of wedding photographers uses their template for wordpress...so im guessing there's gotta be a reason why everyone uses them...but then again, your blog is going to look like everyone else's ( fine..so your color scheme is different ).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benk Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 <p>Very happy with mine as it was easy to put together and does what I need. Sure plenty of others have a similar look, but this is hard to avoid without a high priced custom job... have a look if you like - www.sassstudios.com/blog</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissapapajphotography Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 <p>Thanks everyone for your help! I still haven't decided but I am definitely leaning toward ProPhotoBlogs since I don't currently have enough money to go completely custom. They were awesome at WPPI and I am only hearing good things about them on here. Thanks so much!<br> And BTW, Ben, I have to completely agree with Missy! You ROCK!<br> Alex - Thanks so much! I loved your blog too and really love the shots of the red pub!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcgphoto Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 <p>I saw a blog I liked from a wedding photographer in Canada, he said it was a prophoto blog, I priced one company who sent me an initial quote for pretty much the prophoto template at 6 times the cost!<br>(insert ironic chagrined look for photographer complaining about another professionals rate)</p><p>however I did the handheld installation for the prophoto, really, really like the result. Which is not to suggest more doesn't need to be done, and the learning curve is moderate for adding access to facebook, twitter, and other social media as well as some layout ideas. That being said, I've very happy with the look inititally of the blog and looking forward to tweaking it some more.</p><p>Oh, and sooooo much simpler than even slideshowpro for putting up slideshows..really pleased with that.<br>Goodluck</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
