what should this site be like?
I have asked a few questions in an email to current and potential members:
- Is there something in particular you'd like to see at the site? It will likely to be similar to other city sites – but is there something you'd like to see there first?
- I really like the "recently posted" digests such as the ones at http://chicago.photobloggers.org/ and http://london.photobloggers.org/ . There doesn't seem to be common support for it and both require posting somewhere other than your own blog. Apparently nobody has invented a better solution yet… I am thinking of using Flickr for this (as most people do). Getting a picture to the site will involve posting a copy to Flickr. How does that sound? I've created a group http://www.flickr.com/groups/70159757@N00/ - feel free to join and start playing. I'll show its feed at the site when I see that I am not alone there.
- Speaking of Flickr, I've discovered that there is Seattle Photobloggers and Seattle Flickr Meetups . If you are part of either I'd love to hear what it is like and how this site can relate to Flickr company (which seems more established at this point).
- And finally, if anyone wishes to contribute – both to site design and content, please do!
The single most requested feature is a real RSS-based picture digest. Apparently some people have figured it out - http://www.blimage.de/ has it the way I think it should work. Mark has kindly offered to help figure it out - and we can use more help!
Thanks, let's continue the discussion here.

I would like to see a bulletin board on the front page of "Upcoming Meetups" in the same respect the bbtc.org website has an "Upcoming Events" listing on their front page.
I think this way we can have an quick and easy way to see when people want to get together and go shoot some pics together. Hopefully this will build a strong Seattle Photoblog community, also in much the same respect the bbtc has a strong community!
Cheers,
Lee
