  Hi,

  Can anyone suggest a good theme to display photo content please? Hopefully one that allows contributors to submit their photos that can then be approved and uploaded to the blog. Also can display tags prominently on the site.
  I am using tumblr at the moment but it’s very good.
  My site is http://www.coffeecupview.com – I like the ability to show multiple photos on pages similar to how it is displayed now in tumblr but that’s about it.

  Many thanks in advance

  Ian

  Hi Ian. There is no possibility for your visitors to directly upload their pictures on a WordPress.com blog. However, they could always email them to you the old fashioned way:

  As for themes on WordPress.com to create a photo album, here are some ideas:

  Otherwise, you can select to have a self-hosted WordPress.org blog and choose whatever theme you find on the Internet. Follow the links given by the supportbot for more information.

  Hope it helps!

  If you want users to be able to submit photos for your wordpress community blog. Then set up a Flickr account and create a Group for your blog. Other photographers who are members of the group can post their pictures to the Group for moderation, and you can select the best ones to include in your blog. You can post the pictures using Flickr’s Share This button -> Blog-it.
