Photoblogging with Movable Type

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to launch a photoblog project using Movable Type - I wonder if  anyone out there can direct me to:

1. Inspiring blogs powered by MT
2. Useful tutorials and resources that would guide a first-time MT photo publisher?
3. Anything else that would be helpful

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Best,
AA

Does it have to be MT, as I found a rather nice template for WordPress just the other day ??

> 1. Inspiring blogs powered by MT

inspiring is a very subjective category, but a friend of
mine and myself  
are using MT for our photoblogs:

http://photoblog.hu
http://bp.underground.hu

> 2. Useful tutorials and resources that would guide a
first-time MT photo
> publisher?

not that i know of, but if you find some, i'd be interested
too.

> 3. Anything else that would be helpful

be prepared that MT is a general blogging engine, not a
photoblog-aimed  
one. therefore a few things are not trivial, automatic
EXIF-data comes to  
my mind at first, which is only available through a plugin,
which i've  
never tried.  
http://tweezersedge.com/archives/stories/mtimage
info_plugin.html

Also, most of the old plugins don't work well - or not at
all - with  
dynamic pages.

If you have specific MT-related questions, I'm glad to help.

Andy,
Is there some specific functionality you like in MT? I find
that for
photoblogging Pixelpost is the best, templates are very
simple,
installation is a snap. I tried MT and WP at first but got
kinda lost
in amount of modifications that have to be made to look like
photoblog.

Not tied to MT, I don't think - I'm developing an idea to produce a photoblog that features an image a day from the collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society Visual Materials archive, where I work - the WHS website is using MT all over the place, so it seemed a logical choice.  I'm familiar with Pixelpost though, so maybe it's a good bet.

Pixelpost and WordPress can be installed on your server, right?

Chromasia [1] is probably one of the more high-profile
photoblogs using 
MT, although the look and functionality is provided just as
well with 
pixelpost (which I use).

Pixelpost is great at what it does but it only does one picture per page, click picture for previous.&nbsp; You can post more pictures in the description but there's no way to post just text, or a bunch of thumbnails, or an embedded video, instead of the main picture.   I found that a bit limiting so I switched to Wordpress, but Wordpress is hard to design for- MT tags are easier.
