Photo Blogging with Emo Blog

Photo blogging with Emo Blog Community

It used to be everyone had a weblog, but the new thing lately has been photoblogs. A photoblog is basically an image diary. Some people post a picture a day or an entry with several images on the same topic.

"Photoblogs provide professional and amateur photographers with a place to display their work or any recent photos taken. I've kept a blog for over two years but I'm just now getting into digital photography. With my ldigital camera which I take with me everywhere, I can take a memory card full of photos and not worry about film or processing."

What good is a flash card full of photos if I can’t show them off or have a place to tell my familt to find pics of my nephew’s birthday?
Blogging has been srowing in popularity over the last couple of years. People form all walks of life turn to their weblogs to publish their ideas to the web or to stay connected to friends and family or just to journal, so it should be just as easy to share photos, and it is.

There are several photoblog programs out there you can use like One Reaction photoblog, Snaplog and others, but it really isn’t necessary to install any software on your server to keep a photoblog.

For Emo Blog users or any other blog users, all it takes is a string of image html tags to display your images.

On the same topic as photoblogging, one of the popular ways of photoblogging lately has been through camera phones. Although most camera phone’s have poor image quality and size, that hasn’t stopped most users to start a moblog through TextAmerica etc..

The popularity and emergence of photoblogs is apparent with sites like photoblogs.org. The mission of photoblogs.org is to help the photoblogging community grow and evolve.

Photoblogs.org lists and tracks a total of 6,808 photoblogs from various countries and in different languages.

How to do it:
<img src="url of your photo" border="1">
Caption.

Now you have a photoblog entry with three photos and captions. It’s always a good idea to border your photos, it’s kind of like adding a small picture frame for your photos.

Image hosting:
If you don’t have a place online to store your photos, I highly recommend Flickr (www.flickr.com). You can upload all of your photos one by one at their website or download the flickr uploader and drag and drop your photos. Flickr starts a photostream for you, but also has features to organize photosets and you can even see a slideshow of your photos or sets. I use Flickr to host my photos and as a place to share my photos with family along with my weblog.
