Mel --- Indeed a long time! Looks like you've resumed your blogging where as I have slowed enormously, but still getting comments and questions every day, so I feel like I'm blogging. And you're going to be a dad, congrats!Vincent --- Thanks for that. Looks good!

You can also try Shape Collage (www.shapecollage.com), which I created. It will automatically create collages in different shapes out of dozens or hundreds of photos. There’s a desktop version that can create collages up to 20,000 x 20,000 pixels and there’s also an online version that you can try.

It’s certainly a good start for Photovisi. It’s ability to be “transformed” into gifts is certainly a big plus. Saves plenty of time!

Ted — Yeah, I’m generally unimpressed with photo upload options from the iPhone; the WordPress app in particular is sad because it doesn’t attach the image to the post as it would if you were uploading from the web interface. I find that attachment relationship important when I want to fetch attached images by PHP etc.

I wonder what kind of privacy policy LiveWriter has when storing images on their server, come to think of it, I wonder what kind of policy Photovisi has… looking at the ToS and Privacy Policy, it’s quite basic and doesn’t mention what they do regarding storing of your images etc. So if you were worried about ownership of your photos I wouldn’t use it until they’d clarified those things.

I’ve seen some CSS/javascript that does thrown-on-the-table kind of cards and lets you move them around. No idea how complex it is to implement though.

Hey Kristarella!

After the last iPhone photo article I went searching for something to make my iphone to blog uploading easier on Windows and found LiveWriter. It works surprisingly well. One option is to upload a bunch of your photos to create albums. One option is the scattered polaroid look. The only issues is that LiveWriter uploads the photos to their photos sharing service instead of your own blog so if you want it self-hosted, you need to save and re-upload. Still it was a time-saver for me.

Still waiting for some browsers to get caught up with CS3 so we can just ‘fake it’ online with css for that stack-of-cards-thrown-on-table look.
