Apparently, since I bailed on facebook some months back, they’ve disconnected the ability for 3rd party apps to upload ANY photos. Not being on facebook, I had no idea, at least not until I updated the publishing plug-ins for Lightroom. I was made aware of the aforementioned nonsense, and filed it under “Reason 21,082 I’m not sorry I ditched farcebook”.
I had already started sorting out the photos.galaxieman.com sub-domain here, and this only lit a fire under me to get it done. Since it’s a smugmug hosted page that I control, I get to post from 3rd party apps without the minions of Zuckerberg trying to run things. Also, I’ve added a “Family & Friends” section which is password protected, so I can post pics of the kiddos. Yes, I understand that anything on the internet should be considered fundamentally unsecure, but this is enough ‘keeping honest people honest’ protection for me to not feel paranoid.
