I’ve been using Coppermine about 3 months now. While it has some shortcomings I’m mostly pleased with it. There are hundreds of templates available for Coppermine, but most of them seem to be written for young men. I needed something a bit cleaner, brighter and that would blend in with my blogs.
Then I ran across and excellent tutorial by Gizmo about Converting a Wordpress theme to a Coppermine theme. A couple of hours later I had a Cutline theme for Coppermine. Several more hours later I had worked out the bugs and polished it a bit.
You can see it On my personal blog photo section.
Read the readme file first and customize the theme for your website. Then just upload it to your Coppermine/themes directory. Go into your admin menu and to themes and change the theme.

This is a total bare bones Wordpress template. You have one sidebar on the left, a sidebar on the right and your center column for your posts. The header and the footer have no images or styling either. No css styling has been done. Because sometimes you just want to do it all from scratch. This is as close to scratch as I can make the Wordpress 3 column template. Hack away.

This is a very simple three column template for Wordpress. It is meant to be very easy for you to change colors and the header and anything else you’d like to adjust. I kept the CSS template as simple as I could. Enjoy and hack away.

I really hate blogs that list part of a post followed by a ‘read more’ link. When I moved my blogs from Blogger to Wordpress it seemed all the templates I liked used this partial post thing. Finally this weekend I had time to go through them, find the problem and fix it.
First you’ll need to find all the places in all the *.php files in your theme that say:
<?php the_content(’[Read more →]‘); ?>
<p><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>#more-<?php the_ID(); ?>” title=”Read the rest of this entry”>[Read more →]</a></p>
You’ll need to remove all of those and replace them with full copies of the posts.
In most templates you’ll see something like:
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_excerpt() ?>
<p><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>#more-<?php the_ID(); ?>” title=”Read the rest of this entry”>[Read more →]</a></p>
</div>
Replace that with this:
<div class=”entry”>
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
