WP-Gallery-Remote 1.5.1 available

CB — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:08:14 +0000

I just uploaded WP-Gallery-Remote 1.5.1 to WordPress.org. This is probably the last version, as I switched from a self-hosted blog to wordpress.com, for which custom plugins cannot be used. 1.5.1 worked for me with WordPress 2.5 and WordPress 2.6.

The current version also includes a migration script to migrate your pictures from Gallery to Picasa Webalbums and updating all wordpress blog posts containing wp-gallery-remote tags with links to picasa.

Moved Blog to WordPress.com

I just moved this blog from my own server to wordpress.com. Reason: I plan to get rid of the server. I don’t have time to really do anything fancy with it and it basically just costs money and time for maintenance.
Any kind of photos are now hosted on picasa webalbums. For the migration, I wrote a php script which reads out an existing wordpress blog (self-hosted or wordpress.com), searches for wp-gallery-remote tags, downloads the respective photos from the gallery, uploads them to picasa webalbums and updates the blog post again. That made migrating around 60 albums and almost 200 blog posts quiet easy.

I am not sure yet, whether the old RSS link (via feedburner) is still working. Well, I’ll see after pressing the publish button for this post.

So far…
