Up North

After I switched to Original I’ve realised I’m a lot slower on publishing any photos. While Original is one of the nicest-looking galleries it’s a pain to update. Especially if you like me use iPhoto for managing your photos.

I used to have a couple of scripts on my Linux machines for adding photos but as with all of those hackish solutions you tend to forget how they work, they get broken without reason or lost when upgrading or switching machines.

What I really want is something that I can integrate well with iPhoto to just click and upload. I got pointed to a very nice iPhoto plugin for Flickr but unfortunately the look of your created galleries looks like a reference implementation to try something out. However it’s definitely seems to be a great service for photo blogging, but I want to be able to put up nice albumes too.

I also tried out the .mac account provided by Apple, and it’s really simple to use, however you create static pages instead of albumes that you can update by adding just another picture.

There seems to be some plugin for Gallery as well but last time I used Gallery it was very hard to make it look good or to integrate it somewhat in your site. While integration with the rest of the site isn’t a top priority it would be nice if it was easy.

If anyone know of a good service (for me and my wife), please let me know.
