The Facebook Exporter for iPhoto makes is VERY easy to create image galleries on Facebook. I’ve never had much luck with the built-in photo gallery tool on Facebook; it works about 50% of the time and is buggy the rest of the time. Yesterday I discovered there is a Facebook Exporter app for iPhoto.  Once you install it in iPhoto, lauch iPhoto, and select Export > Facebook (tab). You can create a new gallery or add photos to an existing gallery.

THIS is a GREAT free piece of software! Click here to download Facebook Exporter of iPhoto.

Having been burned by upgrading software immediately after it’s released, I waited until yesterday to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard 1.5.8. I am using a 2008 Macbook and was running Leopard 1.5.7, and the upgrade was flawless. After a long download of 1.5.8 upgrade, plus iTunes and several other upgrades, the upgrade installed and after about 20 minutes and several automatic reboots, my Macbook started up and all is good.
