( iPhoto + Wordpress ) % Photon == 0?
Photon is now free (via Red Ferret Journal - I likada weasel). It’s an iPhoto export plugin for sending photos to your wordpress (or MovableType/Blogsom/et. al.) blog. However, I personally still don’t like the Pictorialis II modification of Wordpress (good idea and work, but not quite polished). It’s been difficult to get setup and definitely not recommended yet for non-hacking geeks.
However, the ability for someone, from the warm embrace of iPhoto, to post to their blog is highly appealing.
In similar news, I’ll try and document some of the hacks I’ve made to HighEarthOrbit’s Wordpress install for fellow ‘Pressers.

Any news on this? I’d love to hear how it’s going with iPhoto & WP.

So far (as of today), nothing progressed with this particular path. The primary purpose being iPhoto 5 is broken with regards to images from my Pentax *istDS camera (see other posts regarding this). Therefore, I’ve moved to using iView Media Pro 3.
I’m dubious to purchase iPhoto 6, since if it is still broken there is no recourse. A benefit of the store assuming you just copied the CD’s, cracked/installed them and are returning for a refund. Very nice policy if you’re a software dev: Zero Return Policy.
A good solution would be to use Picture Sync to publish to Flickr!, and then use either FAlbum, or FlickrPress . I think I’ll probably go with FAlbum myself.

There are a couple of decent looking gallery plugins for Wordpress but none seem to work with WP 2.0. I’m gutted because about every week I want to post up a batch of photos.
Photon seems not to work with WP2.0 either
