Wordpress Yahoo Mail Integration

Jun 14th

Posted by Joel in Technology rocks!

Wow! talk about the future…..Yahoo added Applications on the new Yahoo Mail experience. With different kinds of applications that can be connected to your yahoo mail, like flickr, paypal, etc. One of the great integrations are Wordpress blogs. As I am writing this blog, I am actually doing it inside Yahoo Mail. And as a bonus, you can drag an email from your inbox to the Wordpress application to blog it, how cool is that?

To use this feature, just check out the left frame on your Yahoo Mail, click on Applications, click on Add, then add Wordpress, click and save settings and then you are on the go. Just make sure you have a wordpress blog or a website running wordpress with XML-RPC turned on.

Technology just keeps getting better and better. :)

updating blog using windows live writer

I am testing Windows Live Writer, a product that came as a free package for the Windows Live Products. It impressively connects to your blogs, like my blog site which uses WordPress, simply install and enter your username and password on your WordPress site, make sure you check XML-RPC on your Wordpress Dashboard  to enable the WordPress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols.

Now using Windows Live Writer, blogging has never been as easy as typing it on your MS Word, and not on an HTML crappy plug in that takes ages to load sometimes and doesn’t really work that well. As an almost MS Word look-alike, it features spell-check feature and a Preview Tab so you can check how it will look like into your site.

It also connects to your Windows Live Photos, so you can insert your windows live albums as easy as this:

Not to be mistaken with Mr. Joel Francisco of http://www.joelfrancisco.com.ph & http://kikoshoots.multiply.com who is actually one of the best filipino wedding photographers that I can think of….actually most of the shots i made were inspired by Mr. Joel….thank you sir….

Special thanks to Darwin Guevarra (my mentor and friend) and for letting me borrow the sb-800 again :D

To Russel & Diane, thanks for the opportunity….although it was a very tiring day, it was a pleasure taking your pictures. :)

Hope you guys like it…

Lightroom 2 Watermark Plugin that works!

May 6th

This came from avforums site…thanks to Tobers

Firstly, you need ImageMagick installed. This is a command line image manipulation application, but dont worry about that at the moment. Here’s the download link.

Secondly, you need Timothy Armes’s LR2/Mogrify Lightroom plugin. This puts a nice Lightroom-style interface onto the ImageMagick application. What this means is that a number of the common ImageMagick commands, like watermarking, text overlays, borders, are available in the Lightroom export dialogue box just like they were original Lightroom features. Cool! Here’s the download link.

So, once you’ve installed ImageMagick on your PC, install the LR2/Mogrify plugin into Lightroom. When that’s done, you’ll see some new options at the bottom left of your LR export dialogue. Tell LR where the ImageMagick app is installed on your PC and you’re sorted.

It took me about 15 mins to install, configure, and export my first watermarked bordered pic. And, being a part of LR, you can still export to Smugmug, Flickr etc as usual, but with watermarking, borders, text overlays etc etc.

–
So automatically now upon export, no need to go to Photoshop to add your favorite watermark then re-export.
Here is the sample and also a teaser for the Russel & Diane Wedding pictures…

It was indeed a very short fight…Hatton caught all of Manny’s major punches which brought him to the canvass sleeping….Roach again playing Nostradamus predicting the fight will not last till the 3rd Round!
