正如我们在之前介绍的 Windows Live Photo Gallery 新增了插件模式，Windows Live Developer 博客 http://dev.live.com 也介绍了新版 Photo Gallery API:

Today, I’m pleased to announce a brand new, simple framework that enables developers to create photo and video publishing plug-ins. The framework defines a set of interfaces that facilitate communication between Photo Gallery and the plug-in. The plug-in developer has creative control of the user interface of the plug-in and handles the details of communication with the 3rd party service. Plug-ins are managed applications; .NET Framework 2.0 or greater is required for the plug-ins.

Windows Live Photo Gallery 支持两种插件：

• Windows Live Photo Gallery Publishing Plug-in Platform：使 Photo Gallery 支持更多照片和视频共享服务
• Windows Live Photo Gallery Simple Extensibility Points：对 Photo Gallery 进行扩展，自定义，以及整合

我们将会发布更加详细的介绍，以及范例，更多信息也可以访问 MSDN。
