Wordpress + ImageVue?

Hello guys

First of all, many thanks for the quick activation of the account. 5 minutes, that's amazing and I don't regret purchasing this software and supporting your work. Great job!

I would like to setup a personal gallery as an amateur photographer with a semi-professional camera ;-)
Well, to easily stay in touch with my friends who hopefully follow my photos, I plan to create a blog and everytime I upload some photos, I'd like to comment them (not every single picture but maybe some shots out of a gallery).

My idea is to do this with Wordpress and create a post everytime I update my gallery. Is there a fancy wordpress-plugin of ImageVue where I can choose a couple of pictures to be shown in a tiny slideshow on the website? Like... 'folks, just went outside to catch some butterflies, check those pics out: ' ... followed by a (flash?) strip of pictures (maybe around 50px x 50px).

I know, this could be done with HTML + hyperlinks to the gallery, but I'm fascinated by this gallery and maybe there is one of these elegant ways to publish photos in a blog...

If there is no wordpress-plugin or a 'best-practise-way of ImageVue customers', the next question would be, if ImageVue itself has a concept for bloggers?

I'm looking forward to your answers.
Best regards and have a nice day :-)

# We currently have a Wordpress Imagevue Plugin in the making. Unlike what some people think, it will not be a plugin that plainly embeds Imagevue SWF into a wordpress page. Instead, it is a separate solution to embed a gallery from a specific folder into a Wordpress page. for example, you can create a Wordpress page/post, and add some shortcode like:
Code
 [imagevue folder="content/newfolder" mode="thumbs"] 
The code would list thumbnails from the entire folder into your page or post. Optionally, you could also display full images along with titles/descriptions vertically instead of thumbs. It would also be able to list entire galleries, or inline slideshows eventually ...

Sounds interesting?

You can also currently embed the Imagevue SWF file directly into your Wordpress, and even target a specific folder. However, we feel this is not what the Imagevue SWF was made for, so is not our favorite solution.

Thanks for your request ... Wordpress is a wonderful platform, and we use it ourselves!

That sounds undoubtedly really really interesting!
It is nearly exactly what I am looking for.
It would be awesome if there was the possibility to hide certain pictures of the folder (just in the wp-plugin, not in the gallery itself), so you can leave the album as it is and just post the "new ones".

Thank you very much for your effort. Now I'm waiting eagerly for the plugin ;-)

I wish you a great day!

I assume this can be done maybe by having a parameter available for the shortcode, something like datestart="20110824", which would only show photos that are uploaded after 24. August 2011.
