Wordpress Photo Plugins
Wordpress is great software. I have yet to see a decent photo plugin for it though. Also, I find flickr somewhat objectionable. If I wanted my pictures to swim in the ocean, I’d flush them down the toilet. I admit, that’s dumb, but it’s the closest I can really come to explaining my disdain for flickr - it’s a vague feeling of ugliness.
So, what I would like to see is a plugin for Wordpress that presents an interface with a plugin to iPhoto that allows me to upload a batch of files to a Page in Wordpress. That page would inherit all of the styles of the containing blog and generally look like it belongs there. A folder structure can be created in the Pages area of Wordpress that allows nesting within a top-level Gallery page.
This shouldn’t be too difficult as most of what I need is already in iPhoto and Wordpress. I think using the Pages section of Wordpress would be a natural, sensible place to put this. No modifications to the database will be required (hopefully) and iPhoto’s webpage export function should produce the HTML and thumbnails that will be included in the page.
We Shall See…
