Goodness, for some reason I didn't see your reply until just now (10 months later!)

As it happens, I stopped using iPhoto Buddy quite quickly, because it turned out to be not as useful as I'd initially thought. I now just keep my photos organized in folders in the Finder (titled by date + descriptive name) and use Preview to view batches of them, and ImageWell to crop and resize them for posting online or emailing them.

As far as keeping the photos organized and searchable by keywords, I'm considering going back to the system I used when I was doing film photography, which involved having a simple spreadsheet where I could organize my entire list of photos by any particular keyword (using one per column). This would just point me to the location of the photos. This is probably not appealing to most people, but it was a system that suited me quite well. Unless I find a better solution with a photo viewing program, I'll probably revert to this.
