What you need to use ProPhoto:
To use the ProPhoto blog theme, you must have a WordPress blog (version 2.3.2 or newer) hosted and installed on your own website.
WordPress is a totally-free blogging software that you can install on your website for no cost. All you need is your own website and a little bit of time to get it installed.
Some people get a little confused because WordPress also allows you to have a totally free version of their blog on THEIR domain, "wordpress.com" such as "susiesphotoblog.wordpress.com." This type of WordPress blog will not work. Nor will having a unique domain name redirected to a "wordpress.com" blog. Instead, you need the kind of WordPress blog (called "self-hosted") where you actually install their free blogging software on your own website. This is a lot easier than it sounds. In fact, WordPress is so popular, many web hosting companies now let you install WordPress automatically, with literally one click.
If you don't have a WordPress blog at all, but want to use ProPhoto, you can install and switch to WordPress for free in order to use ProPhoto. All you need is a website domain (like www.susiesphotosite.com) that you own and a hosting account. If you already have your own photography business website, you should almost certainly have what you need to install WordPress. If you have any doubt, call up the company that hosts your website and ask them if you can install a WordPress blog under your current hosting plan. 95% of the time, you can.
If you don't have a website at all, or maybe you just have a blog hosted by someone else, like Blogger or a WordPress blog hosted on "wordpress.com" setting up a brand new domain and website is very easy, and less costly than you might think! Click here for more info.
