How To: Add Photo from iPhone Directly to Web Gallery

Web Gallery is the newest feature for both .Mac Service and iPhoto ’08 (iLife ’08). Apple has quietly added the ability to send a picture from the iPhone directly to the Web Gallery.

When the “Send to Web Gallery” button mysteriously appeared during Apple Special Event – August 2007, it came back and returned an error message. In TWiT‘s MacBreak Weekly 52, even Merlin Mann couldn’t figure out (at that moment) why this feature wouldn’t work. Eventually, the whole casts; Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko, and Alex Lindsay didn’t know how to make it work. (time stamp: 10 minutes)
