I\u2019ve had my photo gallery at SmugMug for a couple of years now. SmugMug is a great site, but a couple of things have made me look for an alternative. First, the price: the pro level is a bit spendy, at $150 a year. For people who make a living at photography, this is a great deal, providing a lot of shopping cart options. For me, though, it\u2019s a bit of overkill. The other issue is that I\u2019ve never really been happy with the search visibility of the site, given its reliance on Flash. Images I put on my blog get indexed by Google Image Search, but images on my SmugMug site have never really been picked up.<\/p>\n
Since I already have a website, I figured why not host the photos myself? So that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019ve done. My photos are now here<\/a>, powered by ZenPhoto. It\u2019s not quite as feature-filled as SmugMug, but it works well enough for what I need. Since I\u2019m hosting it, I can customize everything. It\u2019s also very easy to sync my Lightroom catalog with the albums on the site using the Publishing function of Lightroom 3.<\/p>\n SmugMug is a good site for pros, but I\u2019m hoping that ZenPhoto will work for me for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve had my photo gallery at SmugMug for a couple of years now.
