Solution: WordPress image importer from external url images

Summary: you want to have WordPress automatically import external images that you have indebted in your blog posts so that those external sites don't get angry that you're stealing their bandwidth and also to prevent broken images in the future when that other site removed the image. This WordPress plug-in does exactly that... although because I had so many old posts the retroactive feature where it goes through and finds all external images inall previously posted posts was not working... however it was working for new posts that I created. Here's a link to the plug-in: http://www.bbqiguana.com/wordpress-plugins/add-linked-images-to-gallery/  As a way of saying thank you for the plug-in make sure to click on some of his Google ads!

How to auto ftp to your Amazon s3 Cloudfront Bucket using TNT Drive

August 6 2011 Update: I'm now using another amazon s3 / cloudfront sync app in place of this app because I'm still running xp sp2 and I have some weird windows permission problems that are now preventing TNTDrive from running.

The problem with cloud front is that you have to manually upload your files or use some other more sophisticated synchronization stuff that I don't know how to do... so I found this workaround that allows me to automatically FTP upload my files directly to my Amazon bucket. If you're not using cloud [...]

Went through this tutorial today while working on a new project… fun getting back into photoshop. Of course it’s been fun getting into jquery, javascript, and regular expressions too.
