LINK to my new Monotone WP Gallery

Margaret Roach, of A Way to Garden found this new Wordpress theme in her travels through the ether and suggested I check it out, being a pretty good editorial photographer.

There are certain complexities in using this theme on a hosted Wordpress site, so I just jumped in and created a free Wordpress account and started driving the them, using a group of photographs from the book I did ten years ago by the same title, A Way To Garden, which is currently out of print, but a reall great book for beginning and intermediate gardeners, and can picked up for a song on Amazon.

Monotone is a simple yet dynamic theme for photo-blogging. The layout is clean and non-intrusive, but the way it handles images makes each entry unique (and requires no intervention to do so).

Monotone takes the first image attached to a post and samples colors from it for use in the surrounding layout.

Each post needs to contain one image, and optionally, any text you want. The theme does the rest, pulling colors out of and resizing the images for use in the design.

You can use the visual or the HTML editor in wordpress to input your image and supporting text.

Enjoy Monotone, and please, let us know what you think!

A lot of fun to use, and I love the fact that the theme generates a custom background color with each new photograph.
