Thanks. Already done that!
“Greysight” is Noah’s personal CMS that he’s not making public.
If you google for it, or related subjects, there’s absolutely nothing on the ‘net you can actually find apart from little forum messages – and only 2 or 3 of those.

‘s why I’m posting messages like this. Dont think what Noah does is difficult or revolutionary, but I *do* think his design is unusually elegant and would like to have something similar.

Anyone done it?

Yep.
Know anyone who’s developed a similar site, and how they did it?

I’ve played with both of those and quite like G, especially version 2 which is better than 1.4 but still in development. And I might actually run a G install as part of my site, but I also need the CMS capability of something like WP to deal with a photoblog page, and also some writing. Ideally I’d use one application for all of it and i’m sure WP would be capable, but it would need a lot of coding skills I don’t have.

Alternatives are also MT and Textpattern – but is WP easier to set up and customise?

ah yes, heard of that.

what about custom fields?
-and is it easy to do?
thanks

ok thanks!
what are exhibit and custom fields?
(i know – newbie question – its difficult trying to work this stuff out)

or know HOW it could be done??
– one of the cool features is the changing background colours
-how’d you do that?

no I can understand that there’s nothing exceptional there
but I couldn’t do it, not without a big learning curve
anyone done anything like it?

whats the difference between running pictorialis and wp with the exhibit/pictpress plugin?

If your main interest is photo-posting, but you want the full flexibility of wp, what is the advantage of pictorialis?

And yes, Noah’s site is beautiful. I wish someone would devleop a template that looked similar…..
