Or, really, the dead-easiest thing to do is ourdoings, which does it for you. You upload a bunch of pix to a special DropBox folder and it organizes the shots based on the metadata. Then, go back in and add whatever text you want to tell the story. http://ourdoings.com

I've tried Posterous, Tumblr, Wordpress, Smugmug/Flickr/Picasa hackery, Instagram, Zenfolio and 500px for various mutations of photo posting/blogging, and for something public, I'd just just go with Tumblr these days. I think the community trumps any sort of technical whizbangery. Particularly since other tools (e.g. Instagram) will post to it natively.

Friendfeed remains a choice, if not a popular choice.

ourdoings seems nice for telling a story, needs nicer skins though (considering calling a favor from a friend to get one done). And it links to FF like nothing else does (and g+ and more). Blipfoto is nice if you want to try to be more consistent and encouraged in taking photos. I have found blip to be easy, friendly, clean. Also, it's a scottish startup. There's also european ipernity, which feels like a clone of flickr except with better support for telling a story/blog around a set of pictures

Hi iphigenie. If you talk to that friend, ask if they'd be more likely to want to design a skin for it if it were bootstrap-based -- http://twitter.github.com/bootstr...

I recently ran across a nice photoblog theme built on Thesis theme for Wordpress. http://exhibit.wpblogger.com/

I like Wordpress, but I'm a big dummy
- Joe "Looptid" Pierce
Bruce, Bootstrap looks cool. If you're thinking of doing skins, Bootstrap doesn't look any harder than messing with WP themes*, and that LESS business just about made me swoon. If people want custom skins, I'd be happy to design them! *I can't say I build whole themes from scratch - don't have the php chops for that. It's more like I restyle existing themes - Genesis child themes, or I also have a developer license for Elegant Themes - with client trade dress (type, colors and imagery).
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
I've played with Posterous (http://mobilephoto.co) and Tumblr (http://twiddle.me) but mainly for iPhone photos.

Bruce, I will ask. Strangely enough Bootstrap was exactly what I was using messing with my skin for my old tired site (wish I'd enjoy that kind of design more, but i dont). I don't know if bootstrap would make a huge difference but I think having a well structured and documented (or self explanatory) template would help, and bootstrap or some other framework would help you in creating...

"If you look at four-year-olds, they are constantly asking questions and wondering how things work," Gregerson observed generally. "But by the time they are six and a half years old they stop asking questions because they quickly learn that teachers value the right answers more than provocative questions." It's a haunting finding that raises...

The main purpose of a formal education is to teach you how to sit down, shut up, and do what you are told. Those that learn this lesson well will have a job where they get to sit down, shut up, and do what they are told. Those that don't, will have jobs where they get to stand up and talk.

I think school is an opportunity to observe the machine and learn its values and weaknesses up close. It's everything you need to learn about how organizations work and how you can co-exist with one and still do what you want. And they give that education away free!

Another not-very-important thing I noticed: I connected my existing ourdoings to friendfeed and all the posts got sent up to FF with the same date. Bit of a flood. I'd have expected the rss sent to FF to use the date of each entry. Probably another small thing to clean up eventually?
(I forgot to DM you on the previous one but one DM is probably enough)
- Iphigenie
FriendFeed dates are when something gets posted; there's no way to make the date be when the photos were taken. But to reduce the flood, I suggest using the "headlines.xml" feed instead of "main.xml" so that you can selectively pass entries through by adding headlines to them.
- Bruce Lewis
no worries, it will be fine going forward :) I think I did a luser thing when I set up the dropbox integration yesterday. I put in there some zip files that i was too lazy to upload, and its processed some of them, but I think it got hung up on one... One of them processed over night but nothing seems to have happened since, probably cause while it was processing the file over night I assumed they were not working and removed the zip files. My fault all this, sorry :(

@Scoble, Alex Scoble: you don't see the left side of photo is higher then the right? And yr lens is shooting into the corner of the wall instead of straight down the scene?

- Lnorigb
from FFHound!
No, I think the unevenness you are seeing is because the glasses in the background as well as the plates weren't stacked perfectly straight. The two shots were taken from the same angle in that regards, no angle correction was made on either, the shot with the blurred foreground was just taken by pulling the monopod and camera backward a bit to change the point of focus.

Tip of the Day || Re-Growing Green Onions: Grow Your Scallions Back on Your Windowsill | The Kitchn - http://www.thekitchn.com/re-grow...
Steven Perez, Janelle Scarpelli, Nicholas Kreidberg and 19 other people liked this
See these green and perky scallions? They weren't so perky a week ago. In fact, they were chopped down to their roots. But a scant week of water and a windowsill grew them back — did you ever learn how easy this is? ...there were no words, and the picture didn't need any. Pop your cut scallions in a glass of water and, clearly, they regrow. I had to try it for myself. I chopped off some scallions and stuck them root-down in a Mason jar above my sink. I topped off the water once or twice when I saw that it had mostly evaporated, but other than that I did nothing. To my surprise, these grew fast. Within a day or two there was fresh growth, and within a week they had 3 to 4 inches of fresh green onion on top. (The before photo is actually after I cut them for the second time, and I originally chopped them off even shorter.)

Wow everlasting scallions!
- SteVe C
I've been regrowing scallions in the garden and they've done quite well for the past few months, even in winter. But less growth in water would certainly be an acceptable tradeoff for not having to head out to the garden to harvest some scallion tops.

One thing that puzzles and bit me today - I have 2 ourdoings "sites" one for normal pictures (A) and others for stuff about our house renovation (B). In the past I have uploaded bulk to one then moved the images to the other for entries. What is strange is that the entries that are live on (B) still appear in the draft entries edit page on (A)
I experimented and deleted one of the draft entries shown on (A) and indeed this deleted the live entry on (B)
- Iphigenie
Obviously not a huge problem except to make it hard to find real draft entries in a full list, but probably something to clean up at some point :)
- Iphigenie
Is it the draft entries page or the draft photos page? I do need to figure something to do about that.
- Bruce Lewis
it's the draft entries page on the site (A) where the images were initially uploaded. At the time of creation I uploaded a zip file then on the edit screen for the batch I unticked site A and ticked site B. Now the entries show both on site (B) as live and still in the draft entries page of site (A). If I open them for editing they are shown as ticked published for site (B) so they...

- Iphigenie
actually it is messier than this: even entries I uploaded directly on (B) this week are showing on the drafts list on (A). Same entry, appearing two places. In my case, A is "joellesmainphototrail" and B "iphishouseproject" feel free to look around those two

Will do.
- Bruce Lewis
I'm still surprised that this happens, but I will clean it up soon.
- Bruce Lewis
maybe i did something strange somewhere, let me know
- Iphigenie
You did nothing strange. It has to do with my code. I cleaned it up. If it happens again there will be a button at the bottom of the draft entries page that cleans it up again. It's related to letting multiple people submit/publish to a single site. I'll put it on my list to make the code smarter about when to clear "submission" of an entry to a site automatically.

Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity.

Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted.

I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it.
- Stephen Mack
Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both.

I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it.

Thanks for the update Ben

Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed.

Bruce, I'm not sure we know that.

Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here.

If you use the FriendFeed Facebook application make sure you've configured it properly. We are switching to a new method of publishing in the not too distant future. If you see this message at http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... just click on the link to provide the proper permissions. (via http://friendfeed.com/bgolub...)

A little late on the info as I deleted this link last week at I was told I was pushing all of my FF to FB people were not happy.
- Ed Mason
why do you not post the link comments from friendfeed to the wall? just the links loses 80% of the value.
- Gregor J. Rothfuss
I'm tired the FriendFeed Facebook app. keeps asking me to fix "the problem" so it can post to my wall. I don't want it to post to my wall! Contacts on Facebook and FriendFeed are different types for me. On Facebook it's about being friends in real life, on FriendFeed it is about interests. At least that is how I use FF and FB. My Facebook friends would probably feel I was spamming uninteresting stuff if my FF posts where copied to FB (well, at least if I used FF so intensive as I want to:-))...
- Stig Nygaard
Please let us select what to publish on FB from FF? I'd rather have tweets not appear on FB, particularly as I post from Ping.fm to FB and Twitter.
- Kol Tregaskes
New publishing method? I hope nothing will change for those FF users who don't use Facebook. (am I alone here?)
- Olivia Lovag
from twhirl
I agree with Gregor ... By not having the comment sent with the link, it's just plain and boring and I'd rather just post directly to Facebook. Unfortunately, however, this would negate the very useful benefit of using the "Share on FriendFeed" bookmarklet.
- Dewade Fowler
I don't mind it publishing to my wall, but I don't want it to be my status update. It worked fine before y'all fixed it! (Go ahead. Roll your eyes.) ;)
- Shawn Zehnder Rossi
I get that cannot publish message all the time, because I specifically took away its permissions to publish to my wall. If the FF app gave me some sort of control over what it put on my wall, then I'd give it permissions to do so. As it stands, if everything I posted to FF made it to my FB wall, I'd be defriended by 90% of my friends rather quickly.
- Otto
Yay for new publishing methods! stream.publish FTW!

I don't want to publish my friendfeed updates to facebook, they're too many. I blocked it and i'm always receiving error messages on facebook.
- Oscar
On the same environment, I saw that lite.facebook.com is fast as hell! With proxies, my comments gets directly inputted while FriendFeed takes a couple of seconds, one step at a time. And the message, as Oscar said, is always present if you decide to stop FriendFeed from posting to said service when you have the application on FB. It (script) thinks it wasn't decided, as if it was the...

That was salmon. Problem was I cooked it to slide the skin off easily. It tasted fine, but smelled funny while cooking. Next time I'll cut the skin off even though I lose some meat that way.

How old are those gravestones?
- Bruce Lewis
from iPhone
most are 100-200 years old, the readable ones - although others are older... lemme go check
- Iphigenie
"It is estimated that 40,000 people are buried in the churchyard, the burial registers go back to 1645. In 1849 the graveyard being overcrowded and badly drained was affecting the already poor sanitation in Haworth, Patrick Bronte requested that improvements be made regarding sanitation. Benjamin Herschel Babbage (son of Charles Babbage the Mathematician) visited Haworth and recorded the facilities for the General Board of Health."

Logex, I have no idea, dude. They end up with 4/5 ID's with a bunch of purchases/services spread across them and you absolutely cannot merge ID's or move content between ID's. Not only that, but they never know which ;ID is the "real" one and they expect me to figure that out. Just craziness.

On OurDoings if you change your email address to that of an existing account and then verify your email, the accounts get merged. Apple will catch up one of these days.

"Separated by the milky way, two star crossed lovers are only able to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month based on the lunisolar calendar. The legend of Hikoboshi (the star known as Alter) and Orihime (the star known as Vega) has roots in China but has been associated with Japan’s Tanabata festival since the sixth century."

"Orihime, the daughter of Emperor Tentei, was a skilled weaver and made lovely clothes for her father. On day as she sat alongside the the river of heaven ( amanogawa – the milky way) she was overcome with sadness as she had been so busy with her weaving that she hadn’t had time to fall in love. Tentei, believed to be the ruler of the heavens, witness her woeful state and arranged a...

"The Tanabata festival (also know as the star festival) celebrates the reuniting of these lovers separated by the milky way and the word tanabata can be translated as “weaving with the loom (bata) placed on the shelf (tana)”. During the Tanabata festival sprigs of bamboo, sometimes small and sometimes the size of a tree, are hung with tanzuku, papers upon people write their wishes. Traditionally people wish for improved technical skills and abilities in homage to the legend of Hikoboshi and Orihime."

Did you ever see the photos I took of our Tanabata Festival here? That was a fun time. Do they have a festival where you live?

I didn't, Anika, but I saw there was a page for it on FB when I was researching. I don't think we have a large enough Asian population for this festival, but I would love to attend one day. Do you have a link to your photos?

Nice article. I like the "technical skills" angle: "During the Tanabata festival sprigs of bamboo, sometimes small and sometimes the size of a tree, are hung with tanzuku, papers upon people write their wishes. Traditionally people wish for improved technical skills and abilities in homage to the legend of Hikoboshi and Orihime."
