Playing with the blog

[thumb:30:l]
this is a test post to see if I can post images in the blog from our in-house gallery. The image itself is the one I use as a desktop background on my laptop (ah, sweet..). It seems to work! Next stage is to post some of the video clips of children preparing food..

For the curious, I use a plugin to iPhoto on my Mac from zzamboni.org which allows me to export photos directly from iPhoto to a coppermine gallery hosted on some free space from our isp. I then installed a WordPress plugin from stilglog which allows an author to choose any image from the gallery to add to a post.

I’ve also sucessfully tested an integration with Flickr so that we can post images direct from our splatcooking album as well.

So, we are now totally picture-tastic (to abuse Smashy & Nicey).
