500px is a relatively new photo sharing site and community that lets users discover, share, buy/sell photos. It's increasingly popular and often used by talented creative people. They also use a justified layout. Why not let those photos shine the same way and pull the most recent content to your WordPress site? You'll continue to manage them on 500px and all, but a teaser - for example in the sidebar or footer - on your site is always good. Drive traffic to your 500px portfolio from your blog!
