What’s Great About the SLR Lounge Photography WordPress Blog Theme???

1. Single column with large images – We’ve taken out the sidebar so you and your fans can focus on the display of large, stunning images. I mean shouldn’t a photography blog theme focus primarily on your photography!?

2. Sleek Typography – We’ve utilized a typography with style & consistency.

3. Widgetized Footer - Typical WordPress themes have a widgetized sidebar, taking up precious room on the side of your page. Instead, we’ve moved the widgets to the bottom of the page, allowing your viewers to navigate your page based on tags, recent comments, recent posts, and any other widgets you chose to install.

You can also customize these buttons to link to any site. So all you photography socialites need look no further for a photography blog theme that will enhance your social image!

    I’ve been having great success using this theme. Thanks again!
    I’ve gotten my first request for inline comments though. Any suggestions for doing that with or without AJAX’d?
