I have some pictures to post. I was just starting to put them up here when it occurred to me that the whole process seems a bit involved. Here's how it works:

• Connect Camera to laptop
• Copy all pictures to ~/images/
• View pictures
• Select pictures
• Copy to $BLOG/images/
• Rename pictures manually
• Set file permissions to world readable (my camera thinks my pictures are Super Double Secret)
• Open pictures in gimp
• Make adjustments (if needed, and sufficiently motivated)
• Save each picture (this reduces the size from 2.5MB to something a bit more reasonable)
• Run webify.sh, which uses ImageMagick to create thumbnails and resize originals
• scp files to webhost
• cd to $BLOG/source
• Fire up emacs on new .blog file
• Open hat.blog (don't ask)
• Copy image stanza from hat.blog and paste into .blog buffer for each image
• Edit stanza for each picture
• Write blog entry
• Build HTML and XML files from .blog files
• Publish the HTML and XML files to the webserver
• Check in web browser
• Spot tpyos
• Fix
• Rebuild
• Republish

This is clearly too much work. I'm going to see which bits can have a big chunk of laziness added.
