Hmm, very interesting. I have not slept (it’s 5 am in Johannesburg South Africa). I currently run a a photo-blog (http://www.sinah.org/), of which the CMS is self-developed. I was thinking of switching to word-press; but I find that the Photo-bloggin with wordpress is, not as easy, as everything else about it is. 🙁
Anyway, I totally agree with Eddie, on his requirements. What I find quite disturbing though is that it took me 1 to 2 months in 2002 to build a photobloging application. Word press is been around for how long? Most of the “plugin’s”; that people have developed are, not suited for photoblogging.
I would say, the development of a photoblogging should be built-in to word press. It just makes sense. It follows from “code is poerty”, which is words, and thus a picture says a thousand words.
Okay. I might be digressing, but here it is, I want to use word press, but it fails to deliver on my core function of my site.
Otherwise, I am willing to help in the development of it; just too lazy to read the manual; I will try.
Eddie, i hope you find an answer, I am begining to believe there is not answer, maybe 1.6 will bring us pictures.
