  I am working on a site which is going to need Pages/Galleries and Sub-Pages/Galleries. (ex: Outdoor Photos, and within that, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring; and then Indoor Photos, and within that, Bedroom, Bathroom, etc).

  I’ve been messing around with wordpress just a little, but not sure what the best way of going about this would be. Whether there is a specific theme that can help with this, or some way to implement tags and menus.

  Thanks so much.

  On WordPress.com, all the images are stored in the media library. Each post or page has its own gallery of images attached to it. The one flaw might be that an image can be attached to only one post but that can be overcome.

  You use categories to organize your blog. The categories can be assigned to posts but not to pages, but you can create hierarchical categories.

  It is important for you to understand the differences between pages and posts. A blog is structured around posts, and the front/home page is dynamic. Each time you add a post, the page updates. Posts can be categorized.

  Pages are outside of the blog structure and can not be categorized. They are for information: about, definitions, basics you want your readers to understand.

  Here are some good articles to study in the support documents:

  And in case you think you can post to a page, this will explain:
