Thanks for the interesting examples. It gave me an idea for a portfolio for my blog as a single themed article. But can you incorporate the layouts within the theme you allready have?

Hi, I’m Víctor García, a web designer and a Wordpress fan, like you. I have created a Portfolio Theme powered by Wordpress, a start point for your own Portfolio Theme. You can see the demo at http://demo.wpesp.com/portfolio/ or the tutorial ay http://wpesp.com.

I hope the Theme can help any of you.

Really nice compilation, but I found one more on http://vivee.info/2008/11/04/portfolio-graficzne-oparte-o-wordpress-przy-uzyciu-custom-fields/ . Shame it’s only in polish and it lacks documentation, but I was able to use it (it uses custom fields to store adreses to your portfolio pictures).

WordPress is a great tool for online writers. It’s simple and yet is such a pleasure to use. Yes, there are things that need to be improved but WordPress being an open source software, you can expect continuous improvements on it by the community.

Wow! Amazing themes!
I liked “SOHTANAKA”.

Nice list… too bad all the ones that can separate “portfolio” posts from “blog” posts are all premium/paid themes. Thats what I’m really looking for… might be time to pony up and pay for a theme :)

Wow – WP really can replace a full CMS. RIP casual web designers…
Dan Harrison June 3

They are great designs, but I imagine most designers will create their own variation.

But for the non-designers, you can now turn any theme into a portfolio by using the WP Portfolio plugin:

As a webmaster , I’m extremely glad to see that someone brought up this topic.

Many people don’t grasp the concept of what all is involved in this field, and I think also we are all too often underrated
or taken for granted. Never the less I’m glad to see that you may feel the same way I do , thanks so much for your blog!
