I was all excited to upgrade my Mac apps last year, and am glad I did, except that the upgrade to iPhoto '08 seems to have broken my Wordpress export plugin. This means I have to do some actual thinking when I want to post pictures…

iPhoto ‘O8 (v 7.1) breaks WordPress export plugin

I used to have a very nice plugin for iPhoto which would take selected pictures, upload them and a thumbnail to this WordPress blog, write a draft post which would have the html written for those pictures.

Wordpress is pretty attractive platform for php coders to add stuff onto, apparently. If you go to the Wordpress Plugin Database you will find a ton of extra functions for the Wordpress content management system (CMS). I am poking my way through those plugins, just to see what’s possible.
Update: I took down […]


Badmotivator switches from iWeb to WordPress

I guess that, in the end, iWeb just doesn’t work all that well end-to-end. It sure makes pretty pages, which I’ll miss. And it was fun to move little page elements around. Apple did those bits nicely.
