Default What blog software?
I'd like to make a blog, with the ability to have an album linked to a specific post.
I've tried out various blog programs but none seem to cut the mustard.
Is anyone currently using one which they recommend?
b2evolution seemed the best of the bunch I tried but I simply could not get it to work.

Thanks Jim, Wordpress has got much better since last I used it and I really like it now.
The Nextgen gallery is horrendous though. I have spent all morning with it and given up in frustration.
Have you, or anyone else any other suggestions for good gallery software, which I can link to from my posts?

Wordpress is the best. You realize you already have a blog at photocamel, right? Just click the Blog link under your CamelKarma.

tbh no I had never seen that blog link lol
I've got my own domain though, and wanted a photo gallery for the blog to link to. I think I'll have to buy something though most of the free ones are not easy to set up, or simply don't work.

Not sure what you are having problems with but that specifically is one of the best features. Although it does add a menu to the pallet section of your new posts to simplify the insertion - it's just one line of code to add a gallery or album to a new post.

I like the look of wordpress and I've used pixelpost but I think the former is probably better, there's a large community.
