I maintain several very small sites, connected, but independent, not technically embedded or integrated in each other. As far as possible, I try to give them a similar look, and in each one there are links to the others.

One is made with classified articles. Not a blog. There, I may use photos located on my Piwigo. And sometimes,  I reprint one of its articles as an additionnal page of my Piwigo.

Another is a genealogy site. I may use there medias located on my Piwigo. And the front page displays a RSS thread of a section of my forum. For the contact link of my genealogy site leads towards my forum.

And the forum too can use photos of the Piwigo.

Quite a (very small) galaxy of websites, but no blog among them.

I would never combine WP and Piwigo, but that is just me. For that, and if I had the money to throw at it, I would have to go for 100% WordPress with some fancy and expensive photogallery plugin. I rather keep doing occasional donations to Piwigo...

WP.. actually... for one site and one sub, not really that expensive
https://www.wpbeginner.com/best-wordpre … y-plugins/ You can get it for about 50-75$ per year...

Ok, so I dump Piwigo and get in to Wordpress because I rather have a bloated system with 10% of what I need, instead of a trimmed efficient system with 90% of what I need...?

TBH, I do already run a few WP sites, not for images though... ... it is awful.

I think you may put too much in the word "blog", but then again it is so common so how to avoid it.

Basically all I would need is a simple WYSIWYG text posting interface that would allow me to post some news or incidents about the site as they happen...and the ability to put this in the layout, horizontal or vertical, top or bottom, left or right, without really disturbing the overall album layout....

Nice cars there... :) Reminds me of my youth in Spain..

So you have a comment filter that you display on an additional page? No...

hmm... Wait, thinking loud here...

you pick comments from posted images and post there, but how do you direct the comments over there... 
hum, just a listing of comments.php...
So if I made a comment category I should be able to sort its view in an defined additional page..

https://lotroshots.net/comments.php gives error...  if you do not select an existing album, and sometimes even then...

This one does not give error:
https://homeworldshots.net/comments.php

So I need to add comments to a fictive album and get that album id and show those comments on an additional page that is not the fictive album page... cause you can't post comments that are not associated to an album.
