Body: web photo album rebuild to order pictures and videos as they were taken. Did this one other time, but I was using the wrong exif timestamp flag. Why are there 3 exif timestamp flags? I understand 2 of them, but the third seems useless.

Body: the whizblog used to be kind of a hassle because any time an entry was modified, it changed the post date to the modified date. That made everything a little difficult. I found and installed a plugin that causes entries to be timestamped according to their filename. Works pretty well. Also got the rss feed working for the blog, so I got that going for me.........which is nice.
