Postbot: Easy WordPress Scheduling for Photos

If you’re a WordPress-using photo-blogger looking to save yourself some spadework, you might like this little tool developed by Automattic. Rather than manually scheduling posts for individual photos one at a time, Postbot lets you drag-and-drop your snaps to upload and schedule them automatically – you can edit the details for each image as they’re uploading to save time, and a post is created for each one accordingly.

There are nice librairies to make writing Selenium tests more user friendly. Fluentlenium is one of those nice tools. But Selenium’s problem is not really with its syntax. It’s the complexity of writing stable tests. It’s hell! It would be great if Selenium tests didn’t fail every other day If you test modern websites with Selenium, you end up playing with waits and timers.

The move means users will be able to access and transfer their data from a NAS device to a desktop, mobile, or other NAS device, without limits or storage fees.
