Great stuff! I don't think there's anything that comes with that theme. You'd need to use the Gallery block. Only really useable if all images are the same ratio, which I believe yours are.

Have you noticed the one thing that your favourite photographers, artists, designers or writers possess? An obsession for their craft. Pure, unadulterated passion for creating, sharing and improving their work.

Gotcha! In that case, I'd probably not go for the default theme. Something like Ollie could be a good option, though. They have tonnes of beautifully designed layouts for you to use and edit.

Every page was built from scratch, but there are also plenty of templates to use, if needed.

Hey Gerald. Yeah, I was happy with Squarespace, but I tried to also migrate my business site over, and that didn't work out.

As I want everything on the same platform, I decided to stick with WP.

It's the default Twenty Twenty-Five theme and the Kadence blocks for the actual gallery. Continued...

Mega Menus in core, WordPress 6.9 calls for testing, going from Elementor to Site Editor — Weekend Edition 344

Read onlineIssue #344 | October 11, 2025 Howdy, After meeting so many people at WordCamp Gdynia, on the plane and then on the train, I caught a nasty cold and struggled all week. I call this stage mushbrain, and everything becomes much harder, especially reading comprehension suffers. I am over it now, though. It also wasn't the first time that I sounded horsey on a podcast episode.

New bits added to the portfolio, which has now been moved from Squarespace back to WordPress 🤦🏻

One day I'll learn to stop pissing about and just stick with what I know 🤣

Industrial art 🏗️ One for the shipping container fans ⛴️

Straight off of the ferry, onto the Spido Rotterdam Harbour Tour. An incredible opportunity to capture some of the local industrial scenes.

Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin.

A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

Cooltoren (or Cool Tower), Rotterdam. Proof that you don't need to overthink the name of your next project 🤣

Designed by V8 Architects in 2016, completed in 2022.

Nice one, Mark 🤩🙏🏻🤩🙏🏻 Much appreciated.

I'm not sure I can call myself that anymore, my portfolio site is on Squarespace 🤣 but after an eventful 24 hours, I'm fairly sure I'll be back to a more sustainable option shortly...

Oxfordshire 2025.

Another woodland scene. This scene has less depth than I normally lean towards, but I liked the shape of the trunks and the close interactions.

"Just 5 more minutes?" 😴

#MondayMotivation

A red squirrel nestles snugly between two tree branches, its bushy tail curled over its head like a cosy blanket. One sleepy eye peeks out from the fluff, giving the impression of someone hitting snooze on a Monday morning. The golden light and soft focus add to the peaceful, drowsy vibe of this woodland scene.
