Walter Hutchens’ Blog

One reason I like keeping my journal as a blog is that I can include images in my posts. But a current frustration for me is that Picasa, the software I use to manage my photos, doesn’t have a feature to send photos to my blog which is kept with TypePad.

Picasa sends photos to Blogger easily–just a few clicks. Blogger and Picasa are both properties of Google, so they interact nicely, but TypePad and Picasa do not.

Thus tonight I’ve been experimenting with Flickr, a site for online photos that has a “blog this” button that does integrate with TypePad.

I really like Flickr’s ecumenicism with regard to what blog-writing sites it will post photos to. But I don’t think I’ll abandon Picasa in favor of Flickr for that reason. I am quite happy with Picasa, and I don’t want to keep my photo collection online. I just want Picasa to post to my blog maintained through TypePad!
