I’m having growing pains with my new blog. Ugh, photo editing is such a pain!! I can’t drag and drop or crop a photo within a blog post. For a designer, that’s annoying. There are no borders or spacing options really, or anything to make the photo look good. (I liked iWeb for this – automatic text wrapping, borders, etc.) 

There are a host of other reasons we decided to switch to wordpress blogs. The photo thing, turns out NOT to be one of them. 

I also don’t want to keep 5 different photo galleries. How annyoing. So, I have pictures of my trip and I have to put them on my blog, and on my Facebook, and they’re already in iPhoto, but all these things don’t work together. So you can upload plugins to work with the website. I found one for automatically synching my facebook photos with the blog. Perfect! 

Doesn’t work. Isn’t going to work again thanks to facebook updates. 

Decided to sign up for flickr since it has a link in iPhoto (unlike Picasa), plugins for facebook and the blog, and I can email photos to it. Still trying to adjust to it. Didn’t want to sign up for anything extra in the first place, but would at least like ONE THING that can work with everything else. (This is why I use a mac… iPhoto, iPhone, iWeb, E-mail – all works together!!) 

Still not working very well with the blog. So I have to keep trying other plug ins to see which of these “developers” actually came up with a plugin that actually works without downloading something else, tweaking it, installing other things. 

Notice there are no pictures in this post. Because I haven’t figured out the simplest way to do it yet! Stay tuned.
