How automated are you aiming for here? Wouldn't Facebook/Flikr/whatever need to support the automatic links in order for this exercise to be of any use? Otherwise, you can just create a little database with OO.o Base (for portability, or you could use whatever you want...) and store your photos and geo data in there so you can export it however you want (to the raw html code you would use for Facebook, for instance.) -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
