@gr36 I have no answer to this and it has stopped me from posting something.

@gr36 yeah, you can always post and then edit on the web and move images where you want them. It’s the only way I’ve found.

@gr36 If I'm working on a post like this, I upload the photos via the "/account/uploads" page and then compose the post using the links that the photos are hosted at.

@gr36 That's what I did when I wrote this post.

@gr36 Cool! I haven't found a way to automate it yet, short of buying Mars Edit and working from that.

@gr36 I find the lack of control (or via the link approach the difficulty of control) a significant barrier. It is still mostly a text blogging environment rather than photo blogging. Just my opinion of course. Maybe with the reset on Sunlit features it will become more viable.

@gr36 @ronguest Getting this new version of Sunlit shipped is our first priority for more advanced photo layout. In addition to MarsEdit for Mac, another good option on the web is Quill. It can arrange text and photos in any order. I think we need a variety of tools because everyone has different needs, and the default interface should be as simple as possible.

@ronguest @gr36 @danalcantara There’s Micro.blog Image and Podcast Posting with Workflow and Drafts from @craigmclellan, if you’re on iOS and/or use Drafts.

Two notes:

  1. @craigmclellan: can you update the URLs in that post to point to the latest Shortcuts versions? The Workflow site now gives an SSL error, and I poked your Archive to see that the Image Upload Shortcut has been revised a couple of times, with the latest(?) living here.

  2. @eli: The URL of @craigmclellan’s post itself somehow changed and doesn’t [R=301] :-( ; can you update the “Micro.blog Image and Podcast Posting with Workflow and Drafts” link in the wiki to point to the new post URL?

@craigmcclellan thanks for this, will give it a whirl I have always just published and then delivered post edits with MarsEdit, be interesting to see if this gets me more streamlined.

It also strikes me that we need a resource page with these shortcuts in place ... if only ther was someone who ran a micro blog resources page.
