So, How Did You Make It?
I spent the summer of 2008 out in Redmond as a Software Development Engineer intern working on three separate plug-ins (
LiveUpload to YouTube and
Sample Flickr Plug-in are the other two). If you're interested in building your own plug-in, the kind folks on the
Windows Live Digital Memories Experience Team have a
development resource page on building a Windows Live Publish Plug-in. Also, don't miss the
Windows Live Photo Gallery Publishing Plug-in Platform Overview over on MSDN. There's even a complete
Sample Plug-in for Flickr on there too. Of course, feel free to check out the source code of this plug-in to get started! Omar Shahine, a Microsoft employee, has some tips to share after
authoring his very own SmugMug plug-in.
