It's just eyeballs and opinions Lars. I use flickr but I also keep all my photos in a local gallery install because I still think sets of sets is a good idea (and I like my personal data backed up/ local). That and no one has ever supported or rebuilt a gallery that could actually be integrated into a blog in a way I've liked (or required a lot of massaging/scripting/etc). I think some way of tapping into a gallery install would be fantastic that didn't require me to keep lists of files, or outright directories, etc, in check. Rather that gallery (or insert some uncreated-local-able service) have an api and we just tap on that through typo or whatnot. I'm not sure what the correct answer is moving forward, just that those who do a lot of photography and blog will continue to stir the pot and someone with skill will help bridge the divide one day. -a -- Andy Ciordia : [EMAIL PROTECTED] it's my island : http://andy.ciordia.info _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
