Bouquets of Thanks
May 10th, 2005
When I first began test-driving WordPress, I complained that it didn’t have a good utility for adding images to posts. Later I waxed enthusiastically about the Image Browser plug-in. In conjunction with the Upload command within WordPress, Image Browser made it easy for me to add images to posts–including thumbnails with links to fuller versions. Since then, I’ve been trying a modification to the Image Browser plug-in that makes it work even better. Called IImage Browser, it puts the upload and insert functions in the same place.
I installed IImage Browser on the copy of WordPress that my students will use in Shanghai in two weeks. In fact, it was after finding IImage Browser that I decided to use WordPress rather than some other blogging tool for the course.
I am also a fan of the WP Picasa Gallery plug-in (I wish Picasa took plug-ins, so that I could add buttons to it to post images and web galleries of images!).
I offer the above flowers to express thanks to WordPress plug-in writers, especially those who built WP Picasa Gallery, Image Browser and its progeny IImage Browser!
