The Best Photography Website Templates: Introducing a New Series
What are the best web templates for professional photographers? This series gives photographers a more systematic basis for comparing and choosing.
Note: Photocrati has just released an outstanding set of WordPress-based photography website templates. Unlike most solutions I’ve looked at in this series, they combine both gallery management and blogging in one package. I may be biased, since I’m involved with Photocrati, but I think they’re an awesome solution.

Flickr Introduces Stats
If you have ever wanted to know more info about your Flickr traffic, who looks at what, and where your views come from, the Flickr has the feature for you!
We’ve designed stats on Flickr to give you all sorts of insight into how people arrive at your photos.
The stats are updated daily and include referrers from other sites and search engines, including search queries, individual photo views within the site, but nicely it does NOT include your own clicks which could skew results.
You need to be a pro user to get this feature, plus after activating you need to wait a while to actually see some statistics.
Visit Flickr now to activate your stats or read more at the FAQ.

SLR Photography Domain Names for Sale
Thinking about starting you own photography blog?
In the process of starting SLR Geek, I collected a long list of SLR and PHOTOGRAPHY domain names. Despite the fact that some of them are competitive with SLR Geek and here with DSLRBlog, I don’t want to sit or squat on them, so I’ve put them up for sale, here and on SEDO. Here is a list of all the domain names currently for sale, along with the prices. Note that prices on SEDO are higher due to fees charged by SEDO on any sale. So you’d be better to buy them directly from me.
