Army troops listen to a speech by President Bush on Monday in Manhattan, Kansas.

I thought this was pretty funny! What’s REALLY funny is that I’ve been to Manhattan Kansas, and if these people can tolerate the boredom that town contains, then Bush’s speech must have been amazingly boring!
Also… What sort of photoblog software are people using? I want something… Uh… Actually, I don’t know exactly what I want. I’m pretty much open right now. But this is what I have found and/or tried so far…

Pixelpost is very close to what I’m after. Version 1.4.3 or whatever feels a little too limited/and maybe even a little antiquated to me, but 1.5 seems like a big step in the right direction. I want to be able to upload full res pics, and have them be shrunk down on the fly (or automatically). Version 1.5 can do this, but until it matures a bit I’m holding off. I have 1.5 installed right now, but it’s having some issues I attribute to its early stages of development. I am moist with anticipation for an update! Also, maybe I did something wrong, but my RSS feed doesn’t display the pictures I post. I want an RSS feed that I can put in a narrow column on my.yahoo.com like my recent comments on my flickr pictures or my buzznet pictures. I added the pixelpost RSS to my.yahoo! just fine, but it just shows the text and a link to each post.

Gallery is too slow and somehow not what I’m looking for. I can’t put my finger on what it is that I don’t like about it. It needs more blog to it. (I realize it’s intent is more gallery, as it’s name would imply)

plogx seems interesting enough, but it might need more blog ingredients added too. The thing that kills it the most for me is the documentation! “plog is a perl-based pictures gallery (or photoblog like do you want” or “Remember, if you need any technical detail about installations, update, or use, not doubt to ask us, we gonna help you as soon we can, ours email in footnote.” Hats off to the people (person?) that developed this… I only know one language, and not very well, so for you to type this stuff up in a non-naitive language is cool, but it’s not something I feel like dealing with right now. I haven’t installed plog yet, but I bookmarked the page and I might try it out when I find some idle time (which shouldn’t be too hard).

pictorialis seems interesting too, and should have a healthy dose of blog in it, but… the fact that the first thing I clicked on, the dev blog, gave me a big error. And how about an official working demo linked from the main page? I’d probably be installing pictorialis right now instead of typing these words if I had seen a demo.

Photoblox… I dislike flash so much! I don’t think this is what I’m after at all. Plus, it looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2004. I’m going to search for more options. PLZ ADVISE!!
