This is my hand in the air to ask a question.

I was looking at doing some blogging. Do I have to post my photos to an online site to be able to install them into the blog? Or can I pull them out of my iphoto application on my mac?

The photos need to be hosted online somewhere… I copy out of iPhoto into my space with my .Mac acct. If you have a .mac acct, you have 1GB of online storage space already. and if you save your jpegs down to web resolution, you'll probably never run out of space. Several others host there pictures in the lumberjocks Flickr group. There's also photobucket (my wife uses that one, doesn't ask for as much personal information as Flickr when you register. If you link to a pic on your harddrive only you will be able to see it (unless you open your computer for the whole world to see, which, of course you shouldn't do.

Good question, Todd. I recommend using Imageshack or Photobucket because they are very easy to use as the 3rd party picture hosting service.

We're working with Ethan on the formatting How-tos.. right now we're close to finish the work on the initial one and I believe it will be great guide that will teach all LJs how to format their posts properly. Other two will focus specifically on inserting pictures and videos using 3rd party services.. I will even make some changes in the code to make it even more easier. Stay tuned ;)

ooooooooh the Domino.
I've never done any kind of joints like this (just simple box joints, whatever they are called) but when I saw the Domino (WoodWhisperer's podcast) it went right on my "yup,, gotta have one of these" list.

I'd love to hear more about it.

Woodspar, no, you can upload six directly to lumberjocks. Just like with the projects.

However, If you want to add more photos within the text portion, then yes. Those would be the same as in a regular blog.

As long as you can get your images loaded up onto the web, it doesn't really matter where it is.

I use my shutterfly gallery. Shutterfly is just an on-line photo processing service, but you can also set up a Gallery that acts like its own website. It's super easy to set up and it is totally free - you should check it out.

Since you guys have given me all kinds of great information, I haven't had time to apply it. I have a deadline and haven't had a chance to figure it out. Thanks for all the info.
