iPhoto2Gmail plugin makes it easy to post photos

Posting photos through email makes a ton of sense since there are dedicated "email" buttons built into applications like iPhoto and Picasa. These buttons create new mail messages with the photos attached, ready to be sent to your posterous site. You can use this feature if you use a desktop mail application like Mail.app or Thunderbird.

Webmail users like Gmail users don't get this integration. Until now. I just discovered the iPhoto2Gmail plugin (there's an Aperture2Gmail plugin as well).

Here's how easy it is to post photos from iPhoto to Posterous once you install iPhoto2Gmail:

1. Select the photos you want to post
2. Click "Export" then "iPhoto2Gmail"
3. Address it to post@posterous.com and hit send

That's it! Your photos will automatically get scaled and turned into an image gallery on your posterous page.
