Raven_Morris: why not just use Flickr?
Several reasons.
The main one is that I want complete authorship over the design, function and control of the web site. I also absolutely loathe the interface presented on Flikr, it was not designed with human beings in mind. Also, the backend of my food blog site will be the same backend as my later-on photo site, where I will give away (open source / Creative Commons / etc.) thousands of photos, as well as selling a download of the original higher resolution RAW/JPEG images from the camera.
So I really want full control over the entire process, but it takes a bit longer to get launched, as I see the entire future of my web sites and don't want to do anything that will cause issues later on. So a lot of work to get done!
I will post a few of my photos from the past couple weeks:
Luke-warm rice salad with both cooked and raw ingredients.
A stir-fry with spicy fried rice.
