This site, The Home of Jon, is built on the most-excellent Wordpress blogging engine. I made the switch from CodeIgniter not very long ago, because it just made more sense for me to use a Content Management System, as opposed to working on my own custom rolled website. For my art site I used a plugin called “Yet Another PhotoBlog“, or YAPB for short. I seriously love this plugin – it does just what I need it to do. Plus it’s author Johannes Jarolim coded it very nicely.
I ran into one problem though using it when I was creating my art site. I had a bunch of pictures, and though Wordpress has an import function, it doesn’t support YAPB natively. That was a big problem for me – I could import all my posts, but then I’d have to go back and manually add pictures to each of my posts (around 100 of them). Um, I don’t think so.
So I set my mind to it – I was going to write myself a Wordpress plugin to make it much easier for me to be lazy! So it was written. So let it be done.
