A photoblog (a.k.a. photolog or phlog) is a form of photo sharing and publishing in the format of a blog, but differentiated by the predominant use of and focus on photographs rather than text. Convergence of mobile phones with digital cameras has opened a new era in photoblogging as authors may publish photos directly from phones to the Web.

If you want to publish your photos online in chronological order then you should look here for photoblog software. There is a lot of photoblog software out there for the literary minded, far fewer for the visual person who wants to set up a photoblog.

Here we focus on the software that is geared towards photoblogging, like Pixelpost which is one of our favourites, and that is easy to manage. As always, we advise you to collect information about the software, visit their web sites and check demos and live web sites.

Most photoblog software can also be extended with plugins and support skins/themes. We will soon launch a theme gallery so it will be easier to choose the theme that is right for you.

Picoplog

Picoplog is a minimalistic photoblogging tool. Picoplog's major strength is its simplicity: posting a photo is done by just uploading it to your web space.

All it takes to publish a photo is renaming the image file to the desired title and optionally adding an EXIF comment using any photo management tool such as Picasa, iPhoto or Digikam (though real geeks would use jhead). Then upload the image to your web space and you're done.

Picoplog is skinnable and the look can be customized by simply editing a CSS file. Advanced theme authors can also create new XHTML templates. The whole theme system is very modular.
