WordPress may be most commonly used as the platform for a conventional blog, but it can also be utilized for a range of different kinds of websites too. If you are a graphic designer, photographer, or otherwise engaged in the creative arts, then the Portfolio Press theme for WordPress sounds like it is up your alley.

Rather than having a post thumbnail image followed by a snippet of text for each post, you get a grid-based pattern of squares, each with a unique image. This theme is a great way of showcasing your design and creative work, as it gives visitors to your side an “at a glance” look at some of your most recent work.

Using the options panel, you can further customize the look and feel of theme by updating the logos and changing the layout. A video screencast for setting up Portfolio Press can be found on WP Theming, which is also the site of the theme’s developer. It is also on that page that you’ll find a fairly extensive FAQ, in case you have any questions about how the theme works.

After that, you can head over to the Free Themes Directory on WordPress.org to view a live demo of Portfolio Press, as well as access the free download link for the WordPress theme.
