Warning! This plugin has not been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.
I developed this because I wanted to post image-only posts to my blog, and set that image as the featured image, which makes use of theme features that display featured images.
It’s also great for posting images to Facebook. If you use a pluign like Yoast’s WordPress SEO then you can automatically have OpenGraph data generated for posts and you can post images on your blog to Facebook, without ever uploading them to Facebook!
This video demonstrates how posting to Facebook works and looks:
Why don’t you use post formats?
Because the future of post formats seems a little uncertain and not all themes support them.
Why don’t you include the image in the post content?
Mostly because the theme I use displays the featured image really nicely and so this isn’t needed. However, there is now an option (in Settings -> WP Quick Image) that lets you add the image to the content. This adds a full size copy of the image to the START of your content. I may provide more control over this in future.
Can I post to a specific category/tag?
Yes, as of version 0.2 you can set this in the options. Go to Settings -> WP Quick Image to set this up.
Can I post as a draft?
No, but this is an option I plan to add in future.
