Because it’s so easy to photoblog now.
On thing that’s always been a bit annoying about WordPress is that it’s not the friendliest blogging tool when you want to use images. Typically, I’ve had to resize them in a photoeditor, then upload them to my hosting service, then import the URLs into the blog.
But, I’ve found and just installed Photopress, a very cool plug-in. I had to do some CSS tweaking to get it to work with my layout, but now when you click the photo tab on my blog (or click one of the photos) it will take you to the photo page where all the images I use (and any others that I don’t blog, but want to share) can be seen.
Best of all, uploading photos is now a one-step process.
Update: WordPress now supports proper photoblogging. Yay WordPress.

Just discovered PhotoPress recently and loved it so much I blogged about it. Easily the best plugin I’ve found for photos!
