Should Musicians Use Photoblog Themes?

My search for free WordPress themes for musicians lead me all over the web, testing out various styles of themes. I came across Photoblog themes that were aimed towards photographers who wanted to display their picture portfolios, to better showcase their artistry. From a musician’s standpoint, these themes stressed an important idea: visual branding.

Here are some examples of 4 Free WordPress Photoblog Themes:

New search engine, Bing has been providing our band website a lot of traffic just off of image searches. This just made us provide some more imagery with our music and made us prepared to label and tag every single photo uploaded to your blog. It does make a difference, search engines are watching.

We have recently been receiving amazing traffic from Stumbleupon and really wanted to understand the nature of the beast. If you have used Stumbleupon before, you can understand that you can cycle through so many sites within a minute. What is it that makes me stop at a page? In my case, images have grabbed me at times to see what it is, and if it interests me I will read on. At the very least, the visual branding can add an extra element to the flyby visitor. Get your logo, album artwork, and creative photos and use them strategically to express what your music is about.

Musicians underestimate the value of great artwork, gig photos, studio time pics, and even individual artist photos. This Music 2.0 affair is all about bridging that gap between you and your fans. Let them see more of you.

One main dilemma I’ve encountered with bands is generating fresh new content to keep their website active. Use these photos you take and tell your story. Each photo has some sort of memory, and it might ease that writers block.

Using Photoblog themes are great. It really comes down to personal preference of your layout and what you want to convey. I will use one of these themes in the future, just always remember SEO (search engine optimization) is the ultimate deciding factor in me using a theme.
