 * Hiya!
    I’ve been playing with WordPress and really enjoy using Markdown. I haven’t
   been able to find an image system that shares its philosophy of writing, so I
   took a stab at implementing something like it. And I hate processing and uploading
   multiple thumbnails for images, so I adapted some code from PictPress to automatically
   generate them on the fly. The Markdown addition I made allows you to specify 
   image alignment and width, and it uses some additional CSS tags to do the formatting.
   I’ve put up a post about what I’ve done so far at [http://davidseah.com/index.php?p=36](http://davidseah.com/index.php?p=36),
   in case anyone is interested. I haven’t tested it extensively, and I’m pretty
   new to this whole blog/open source thing, so any comments are appreciated! Dave

 * Thanks, this looks interesting. I use Markdown as well and wanted to look up 
   how it handles images natively… right now, daringfireball seems to be down, though.

 * I’ve uploaded a zip file of the current hack at [http://davidseah.com/index.php?p=38](http://davidseah.com/index.php?p=38)
   for those who are interested. Thanks!

 * Uploaded dev version 0.2 at the same location. It is still a hack of the PHP-
   Markdown 1.0 plugin.
    * New thumbnail syntax is more like Markdown, and uses 
   reference ids * No need to include styles in wp-layout.css anymore * Built-in
   Image Popup code * Default left-aligned, 120 pixel wide thumbnail if you don’t
   specify third ( … ) field. Example syntax: !@[images/hello.jpg](popimg: “Hello
   There”)(R240) will create a right-aligned, 240 pixel wide image inline with the
   current paragraph from the JPEG file located in your wp_content directory (or
   whever your upload folder starts at). Clicking on the image will pop it up in
   a new window. You can replace popimg: with a URL of your choice.

 * I’ve separated the functionality into a stand-alone plugin called [Lazy Image Layout](http://davidseah.com/index.php?p=51).
   Click the link to see examples.
    It still requires that you have Markdown activated,
   otherwise the image formatting won’t quite look right. I also haven’t tested 
   this with the out-of-the-box CSS formatting of a vanilla WordPress install…mine
   has deviated quite a bit. More things to look at later.

 * I tried it with the default wp-layout.css file, and it generally works except
   that my own blog uses a fixed-width design, so layout that depends on that tends
   to look funny. Otherwise, just using left and right align seems to work pretty
   well.

 * Is there any way to use the Lazy Image Layout properly **without** activating
   the Markdown? I guess I am too lazy (LOL) to learn it, I’d rather use html.
