The Chapman Wedding

Here are a few pictures from Eric and Sarah’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. We had a great time hanging out with friends and family.

I’ve been trying to figure out a better workflow for getting images into my blog. I hadn’t ever used iPhoto much before but I decided to give it a try. It works great for taking a bunch of pictures and doing some quick editing to get them online. I was impressed with the editing capabilities. They’re powerful enough to do some cool things but user friendly enough that non-photoshop geeks can figure it out. The process quickly started breaking down when it came time to export photos for the web. I found a Picasa iPhoto plug-in that allows you to upload photos right out of iPhoto. I was excited about this because I figured I could upload the photos into an album, create a gallery and then embed it into my blog. Not so. WordPress doesn’t allow embedding of flash except for from a few approved sites. Picasa (nor Flickr) is one of those surprisingly enough.

So I’m stuck with using slide.com since they’re approved by WordPress. The Picasa option would be much nicer thought since I wouldn’t be forced to create duplicates of the images on my hard drive. I would be able to do the whole thing in 3 steps.

WordPress gods…please add Picasa integration! Thank you.

[Here's the Picasa gallery since I went to the trouble of making it.]
