    I want to try this intriguing plugin but, I want to understand what is required within WordPress once the IOS app uploads the photo to my website first.

    When the IOS app uploads my photo does the plugin create a new Post for me?

    It sounds like it just places all the photos and content into a Page and from there we have to move it to our Posts.

    Need to understand the workflow and processing that needs to be accomplished once the photo or comment leaves our iPhones please.

    Hi Marc,

    Thanks for reaching out. I’m happy to help and I’ll certainly incorporate your feedback into how I can make the process better.

    Let me try and detail a few key things in point form:

    – On install it creates new tables in your database for storing all ‘postcards’ separately from regular posts. It also has its own tagging system. The nature of the content is different enough and I don’t want to hurt blog performance for those who post social content frequently
    – The ‘Social Archive’ is an auto-generated and important page mostly as a source of permalinking your social content, should you want to drive traffic to your website from social networks via the ‘Host’ feature built into the iOS app. The archive also listens for query parameters so that it can be used as a filter page for your social content.
    – You also have two other types of shortcodes that you can embed into pages and posts. [postcard-feed] will give you a facebook/twitter style stream and [postcard-gallery] will give you a gallery filtered to only video and image content.
    – These shortcodes also accept parameters like [postcard-feed tags=”cool” count=5] . That would give you a feed of that latest 5 social posts that you tagged as ‘Cool’ either by explicilty using #cool in your message or by using the iOS app’s private tag feature

    I’m going to follow this thread by email for follow-ups. Feel free to ask anything. I hope that’s useful information.
