I am playing around with some new software that I downloaded, instead of going to bed (I have a cold -- I really should sleep). The software is called "Photon" by Daikini software. Photon purports to be some sort of application that makes it easy to post pictures from iPhoto onto a blog. The documentation on their website is non-existent, so it took me awhile to figure out how it works. After several test posts, however, it looks like I got it working.
The biggest drawback to this system is that while you can export a single photo from iPhoto to the blog, then you end up with an entry like the one that I just made. There is no text that surrounds the photo, to give it more description. I know that Carl very rarely writes verbiage to accompany his photos, but I'm not Carl. The second major drawback is that I like for the thumbnail of the image to itself be a hyper-link, which takes the reader to the larger version of the image. It doesn't look like Photon supports this method of doing things.
So, I'm not sure if I'm going to pay the $10 or not. I'll have to play around with it more, I guess.
So, about the picture? There really isn't any story -- on my last day in Seattle, I was hanging with Justin and Sarah, and transitioned to hanging with Rushabh, Kristen, and Ted. I didn't have too much time before I head to head to the airport, so I suggested that we check out the University of Washington campus. It happened to really work out, since Kristen is a student there, she was deputized as a tour-guide for our group. I can't remember which building that is, but the picture looked good, so I posted it.
