@Sultana: Re images the new versions of WordPress make it a doddle. You can upload images and it will resize them for you automatically and even turn them into a slideshow if you want.

Photodropper just makes it easier because you give it a search term and it just pulls them up from Flickr. Zemanta now has a “filter” facility that lets you do the same too

@rucksack: Turns out that most of the people who turn up are involved in marketing or PR. Seth is one of the thought leaders in the area (in my humble opinion) so we always end up talking about some idea of his

I found 2 important plugins from this post. Wordpress disaster recovery and the photo dropper.

I lost all my posts on one of my blogs the other day. That was a real nightmare. My host provider managed to retrieve but I still lost some posts which I had to re write again.

I feel adding images on wordpress isn’t easy. I usually upload my images somewhere else and paste the code.

The Photo Dropper plugin sounds like something I would be interested in.

Sounds like a useful meet – why do you always talk about Seth Godin?

[...] Owen has a fairly good summary of this all and of course the Strive guys (who were on the other side of the table.) [...]
