Hi folks,

Shows how you could add pictures the blog, by using the album feature in Photodb. Why not create a /photoblog, merging blogger and photodb album. The editing capability of blogger is superiour to photodb, and it would also solve the issue that photodb does not yet have a category parameter.

The small picture function in /photodb can be used as a small picture header per blogposting, and clicking the picture would be linked to the "more" function in /larsblogger, showing the presentation as the link above.

One thing that would be needed though is a parameter to make the text width relevant to picture width and an option to postion text left, right, top or bottom of the picture, as Wimpypoint offers.

The clipboard function could be used to add thumbnails in the weblog sidebar by simply changing the url...add this picture to clipboard, into add this picture to weblogsidebar.

It looks like all the code's is allready there.

Just a thought.
