I want to create an image hosting site and I'm obviously concerned about bandwidth and speed use. Since wordpress is a pretty complex script, wouldnt it load slow as opposed to a standalone image script? I want to use wordprss for the plugins ect ect. If you had to make a image hosting site, would you use wordprses?
wordpress is not so cool for image sites. I'm currently building one for a mate at the moment, using Gallery2 http://www.pureanimegallery.com It requires a beefy server though. One good one that is a lot zippier is zenphoto. It's not so good for SEO but for everything else it flys.
I really think nothing EVER can beat the one I have now!... check out my sig and PM me if you are interested
