SmugMug

To expand on my “switching to SmugMug” comment from a few days ago:

1. If you’re a big nerd like me and you subscribe to people’s photo RSS feeds the firehose for my photos is now at this URL. There are a bunch of other feeds available too…
2. The most interesting photos, if I do what I want instead of being a lazy slob, will be in the Email gallery. This is where all the stuff I take with my iPhone will go. Hooray for having the internet in my pocket.
3. Switching to SmugMug was super easy. There’s a Firefox extension called Smugglr that does the job easily.
4. If you sign up for SmugMug I encourage you to use a coupon code to get a discount on the first year. If you’re coming from Flickr use the code flickr to save 50% or, if you feel like helping me pay for my subscription, use hwrh3klDBOGlI – this will save you $5 and send $10 to me – it’s win/win!

Addendum

Cool SmugMug feature: resizing images via URL. Take the photo above. The default size is accessed via the URL http://gty.smugmug.com/photos/442170176_d5a4f-L.jpg. Everything after the “-” tells SmugMug what size photo you want to see. You can use some predefined sizes, like “-L” (large), “-O” (original), etc. But you can also tell it to resize the photo on the fly by giving it the desired dimensions, i.e. “-250×250”. So the URL for embedding the above image is http://gty.smugmug.com/photos/442170176_d5a4f-250x250.jpg.
