Finally I’ve come around setting up the feature to post a photo from Flickr directly to my blog!

It took me this time. I’ve just not thought I had any use for it before, but now when the summer is approaching and I’m buying a new cell phone soon, I might wanna share photos from it more at once.

So now you may see pictures of my toes dipping in the sea at the beach in real time… *giggles*

This will ease the procedure a bit. It was very easy to set up in Flickr under: Your account / Extending Flickr / Your Blogs / Configure your Flickr-To-blog Settings.

I could even send this test post to confirm that everything was correct setup:

“This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.”

Though I did set up a special WordPress user in my blog for this, with the lowest permissions, to be on the safe side :-)

I also did choose NOT to store the password for the account. I’m always very cautious of me.

There is also the feature of sending photos by your email directly to your blog, which I’m going to check out as well.

You’ll never know when it can be useful ;-)

    Hope you had a wonderful BBQ yesterday!! I have only a free flickr account with very limited capacity so I haven’t touched it for over a year… should go look if it is still alive :)

    You are really good at these programmes and electronic stuff. I am impressed because such things scare me and I always do something wrong and it doesn’t work the way it should be working.
    Have a nice party!!!!:)

    Even though it’s only partialy related…

    I tried using google’s picasa for a while but I stopped using it. It seemed like people are going out of my site just for the pictures which I think is a bad visitor experience. I am thinking about integrating a gallery into my site.

    I’ve been thinking about that too, since I started this blog, but not found the right gallery functions to use yet…

    Interestingly, when I finally learned how to put images up via flickr; my audience and I appreciated my blog much better.

    I have yet to learn how to do all the detailed features you describe though ;-)
