Likely a scroll function with 20 or 30 more photos to call up. We can't expect software to figure out good pics for us. Likely the descriptions arn't good enough.

Ok, we'll figure out something.

We probably need three things:
- manual commons image selection
- manual flickr image selection
- manual keyword entry for subsequent zemanta search

While this is more manual stuff that we'd like, it seems like a good fallback when our magical matching doesn't work perfectly.

I'll draw a few wireframes for this and see how fast we can put this into production. No timelines yet thou.

A comment on the idea "getting more picture suggestions" in Zemanta:

We can always find a better service, if your too busy. I'd pay for a service that did the job right. With features such as pre-approve and automatic posting, tagging, and other valuable features. Zemanta is currently holding my business back. – SkyWriting, 9 days ago

Just to be clear, after using this for the better part of a month, I do find that sometimes the pictures suggested just make no sense. I've taken to actually starting a new post JUST to stuff keywords into it that i think are likely to get me the pic I want, and then copying the markup over.That's a hack. I really would like to just be able to give the URL of a pic on commons and have it be "zemified" (I know Commons well enough to be able to find good pics a lot... but I hate the way Blogger's markup looks compared to Zemanta's...)

I'm with Lar. Either plug my own keyword in, or a cancel for new set of pics. I'll find something if I get more choices.

Your thinking categories. Tags are much looser associations.

Well I can see how it went Salinger - Chapman - Lennon, but I don't think the suggestions were appropriate to the post, because neither Chapman or Lennon were mentioned.

I guess I'm expecting the suggested tags to relate to the main topic of the post and other mentioned topics.

I had the same thing when I added "James Bond" to a post ( http://www.wizardstower.co.uk/blog/20... )

All of the picture and most of the related article sugestions changed to Bond stuff even though that's not what the rest of the post was about
