I use the Shashin Picasa plugin for the photos on this site. I broke it today trying to upgrade my Tagline Rotator plugin, so I upgraded to the latest version of Shashin to try and get it working again (it did). After checking the version notes, I did a little dance–see, it used to be that you had to go into Shashin’s Tools page in your WordPress admin to get the unique ID associated with your Picasa photo in order to embed it. The main thing that attracted me to Shashin was the the wide variety of ways you can display photos, and the flexibility of the plugin to conform to different blog types, etc. However, while the notation used to insert a photo or a set of photos is simple and quick, having a WYSIWYG within the WordPress editor is very useful and a welcome addition to the plugin. I’d have to say that, for my purposes, Shashin is perfect and its author, Mike Toppa, deserves a good amount of praise for the work he’s done.

- By default, the ‘post’ lives on the
blog ‘s root level directory, but the billions and billions of tiny .jpgs which make up the actual Fireworks-producedrollover image live in whatever directory you put them. Updating the links does nothing, since therollover behavior is governed by JavaScript, and a simple find/replace can’t help you there. - Even when you decide you’re willing to dump billions and billions of tiny images into your root blog directory, the image shows up waaaaay down the post, for no apparent reason.
In light of these problems, I finally threw up my hands and decided I’d insert the image into a simple Dreamweaver html page, put it to the server, load the page in a browser, select all, and paste the whole mess into the WordPress editor, only this time with the
