 * Which **function **in wordpress handles the extracting and re-putting of IPTC
   data in the image resizing workflow? Can’t seem to find it.

 * LOL is it “cool” to look into plugins to solve coding problems? If that were 
   the case, I’d be dissecting plugins left and right! What is the official thing
   in wordpress when it comes to spinning off from other people’s code?

 * Code publicly released is fair game…In fact many of the plugins build off other
   plugins and many of the themes include plugin code – properly acknowledging the
   original author is done (usually).
