A lot of time has gone by since I first posted my plans to build a photoblogging them, but I finally found the time (and will power) to get building it these last few weeks. You can check it out at http://photos.evansims.com.
I’m actually really pleased with how powerful the system is turning out. I’ve got geolocation support in (manual, or auto if you upload using the official WordPress apps from iPhone, Android etc.), EXIF processing (camera model used, time taken, etc.), “People in this photo” and optional visitor tagging (like Flickr!) and more is already in. It’s also structured entirely in HTML5, uses Canvas to render images smoothly, and uses some neat tricks to protect images from theft and hotlinking.
It’s still a work in progress, but it’s coming along nicely. I need to get the iPhone and Android mobile interfaces polished up, and implement a few more details into the system, but all in all it’s pretty much there.
I’ll take a month or two sampling the dog food here before I push out a beta release of the Theme for everyone to try.
