Photo theme that allows lots of text?

  • I have two vintage photo albums (circa 1850-1910) that I inherited. I want to be able to display one or more photos on a page with corresponding text. I need enough room for text that I can provide a detailed analysis of what is in the photo (for purposes of possibly identifying who the people are).

    I saw the beautiful photo templates that were featured in the latest WordPress newsletter, but am wondering whether there is one out there that would fit my particular needs?

  • You do not need special theme for that purpose. Just pick a theme that’s simple so that the content (photo and text) will shine.

    Look at Matt’s blog here for example
    https://matt.wordpress.com/

    To post one photo, just display one full size image. To post gallery, just use gallery shortcode. Text is post’s content.

    I didn’t see what I’m looking for on Matt’s blog. I’m not saying that this example won’t work, I just didn’t see what it is I’m looking for in it. Essentially, I want a page that will display a photo, say on the left, with text going top to bottom on the right, so one can read the analysis of the photo while looking at the picture. I may just have to design an html page to do what I want.
