Venice Parrot Local Photo Test
Testing iPhone photo uploads to the blog.
The above text was posted via mobile (along with the photo below). The remaining content are notes on what’s going on and what I am working to improve.
I’ve been talking about how I want to develop a theme for uploading photos from mobile devices so I’ll be doing some tests here and posting my notes.
There is an iPhone Wordpress app so one can create posts on the go. There is also ability to geolocate the post. The iPhone already geocodes photos (I’m fairly certain) with info added to the exif data of the jpeg files. These are good things but I want more.
One thing I noticed quickly was that the image link URL was ugly as hell, that will have to be modified so image files are more SEO friendly.
Also related to the image I had to go and manually edit via “Edit Image Title” and then “Edit Alternate Text” in the Advanced Settings. Too many steps for my comfort. Will work on a way to optimize this.
