What;’s your Wordpress version then? I just upgraded to 2.6, but never got the same errors.

Can you go to console and show any sign of iPhoto log there? Thanks!

This is exactly what I need for my photoblog – I tried WordpressExport but it didn’t work. Thanks so much for resurrecting Photon.

Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten it working just yet – I’m getting “Server Error: 500″ whenever I try to export (iPhoto ‘08 v7.1.2 with Wordpress 2.6.0). I saw a few other people mention this error on the Wordpress forums, but they seemed to have solved it with Photon 1.2.1. However, I’m using 1.2.1 and it still doesn’t work.

I’d really appreciate any suggestions – I’ve been trying to find a way to export directly from iPhoto to WP for a while now.

Not sure if the is an enhancement or just a how-to request: I want to upload the images to a new post and use Wordpress’s [gallery] tag as the content, but not the images. I can upload with [gallery] as the prologue, but it seems like I must also include the “Use photo as body entry” in Entry Creation or else the photos don’t get linked to the post. Suggesions?

Performed more updates in iPhoto ‘06 on Leopard using the “all pictures in one post” feature. Worked like a charm.

No problems yet. Haven’t tested adding a new category because I don’t want to add one to my blog.

Performed a massive 44 pic update yesterday with no problems. When I take bluebonnet pictures next weekend, I’ll upload them in a “gallery-style” blog entry as a test.

Thanks for the great work.

I guess “no” for the moment. The Blogger API seems to not have documentation on how to upload photos through the blogger API. Will do more research about this, but it seems that the Blogger API is different from the MovableType or the MetaWeblog XML-RPC APIs.

Anyone who could give me light to this would help me implement this for blogger.

This is great! thank you so much for getting this updated. The only bug i have seen so far is that it hangs when you try to create a new catagory. Other than that, everything else seems to be working great.
