A Project Idea: iPhoto to WordPress [gallery] Export
I’ve been spending some time getting my son’s blog setup. In doing so, I discovered that as of WordPress 2.5, there is built-in [ gallery ] functionality. Though it isn’t full featured, it’s pretty nice, and perfectly integrated with WordPress, since, well, it IS WordPress.
Currently the process to put photos into a gallery is:
- Choose photos in iPhoto
- Export chosen files to disk
- Create new WordPress post
- Add media via WordPress uploader
This isn’t too bad, especially for a geek who’s used to lots of arcane workarounds to accomplish simple goals. But… for my wife or others who don’t want the hassle, this is basically annoying.
