I created a new website yesterday (rather quickly too). It is for iPhone Photos and can be found at www.iPicEveryday.com.

I’ve seen one or two other websites like this, but they weren’t that active. I got the idea from a thread over at the MacRumors forum. Every day people post a picture they’ve taken with their iPhone in the forum thread. I took that concept and made a website/blog out of it.

Everyday, or sometimes several times a day, I am going to post pictures I take with my iPhone. Sometimes I’ll take pictures of random stuff, animals, people, sports, nature, etc… pretty much anything I find interesting. With each picture I’ll write a couple of sentences about the photo that way search engines will like it better.

The best thing about this site is I do all my work on it directly from my iPhone. Thanks to the iPhone Wordpress App, I can take pictures with my iPhone camera and post them to this blog directly from my phone in under a minute. I can create the page titles, add the tags, categories and even set the publish timestamp. Without the Wordpress App, I wouldn’t be able to do this site. I can now take a picture from anywhere and upload it to iPicEveryday.com without ever going to my website.

I don’t know if this site will get a large daily following, but I’m hoping by using long tail keywords in my page titles that I’ll be able to rank for some unusual things. Some people may return daily if they find my life in pictures interesting.

The only negative I’ve seen thus far is the image file names that are created when using the iPhone Camera and Wordpress App. I can’t change the picture file names to anything I want (like mycat.jpg). Instead, file names are automatically created as something like this: “p-640-480-71d46162-d497-4cb5-bd6d-7a510c4d149e.jpeg”. That file name looks terrible and won’t help with SEO. Luckily I can add alt tags with the App though. I could go in and manually change all the image file names using and FTP program and then editing all the posts in wordpress, but that defeats the whole purpose of having this website where I can post anytime/anywhere.

I am looking for other contributers. So if you have an iPhone and take a lot of pictures let me know and I’ll set you up an account.
