Hoshil,

   My problem is quickly posting large numbers of JPEGs to a website.  I am very lazy.

   Take a look at my BASH script at http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson/mkJPEGdir.

   Type in the command by itself and it explains its syntax.  Being a BASH script, you can just study the damn thing.  The web page title must be enclosed in quotes.  Any directories with spaces in them must be enclosed in quotes.  

   You must have ImageMagick installed.
