Zenphoto Twitter Bootstrap Theme

Why it exists

A clean, customizable starter theme for Zenphoto from the era when every gallery platform shipped its own dated default theme. Bootstrap for the UI, a breadcrumb trail and pagination for navigation, and restricted access to the admin options.

What I learned

Building a "starter theme" rather than a one-off site theme forces you to think about what belongs in the reusable base versus what belongs in a specific site's customization, a distinction that shows up again in every templating system since.

Archived. Zenphoto itself has moved on since; kept online for reference.
