Nice bit of javascript for removing the formatting from Tumblr’s standard photoset layouts.

Add it to the bottom of your template and it will remove the photoset from the DOM, make a call to Tumblr’s API, get the photos and captions and inject them one by one back into the page.
See an example of the jQuery plugin working on my (old) homepage.
I’ve tried to keep a daily photo blog in the past but have given up after a week or so because of the workflow involved. Shooting on my DSLR, post processing on a computer, resizing for web and uploading via my cms became way too time consuming considering it was a ‘nice to have’, non-essential addition to my website. Instagram has totally changed all of that. Not only has it simplified the whole process to a few clicks but it’s opened up my work to a hugely generous community that give near instantaneous feedback on the pictures I post. I love the fact I can shoot, edit and upload a portfolio of work (a diary of my daily life) via my phone!
However, what about friends without an iPhone or clients that visit my website that don’t know my username (@finn) or the app itself?
I received an email from Rob Rothe last month about the instagram plugin I developed. He has taken the whole thing a bit further and I figured his process was worth sharing.
