Tl;Dr: setting up Google photos with WordPress/jetpack is hard. Harumph. See 3 albums below
You know, I’m pretty happy with my pixel & android. Great camera, pictures go to the photo app and I can share & organize there
In general, I want to do things in 1 place, not two. For example, if a photo needs a caption I’d like to do it in just Google photos or, just WordPress. If I have to do it in both places then I have to keep track of where I’ve done it and where I have not.
I have a very basic word press installation that’s very cheap to run, I don’t pay a lot of money in terms of hosting fees for companies to do fancy things for me because I am not running a business.
And, photo integration between Google photos and WordPress seems to be a sore spot. Perhaps if I was using smug mug or some other social media platform for photos it would be easier, but I have spent half a day trying to figure this out and it is horrible.
So, for now I will keep updating these 3 Google albums:
- GDMBR 2024 All – big, unsorted dump of keepers
- TD24 Portraits – my face (almost) every day of this thing.
- TD Certified Trail Angles & Friends – the wonderful people I’ve met. Racers & lovely folks
I will also add a few photos to daily posts, but if you wanna see them all – use the links above.
