Flickr Friday : Favorite Things

Published on Friday, May 30, 2008

Here at Surpass we love Flickr and know many of you do, too. It’s such a great community of people from around the entire world. Today we wondered, what is your favorite thing on your desk? We all have knick knacks on our desk, maybe one is extra special for you. If you have a photo feel free to share it in the comments or just describe your favorite thing. We would love to hear about it!

Flickr Albums

Published on Wednesday, May 28, 2008

W is for WordPress and W is for Wednesday! A perfect fit we think! Every week we will bring you a new tool to spice up your WordPress blog. Today’s tool is Flickr Photo Album for WordPress by Tan Tan Noodles. If you have a Flickr account you know that sometimes if you’re showing someone (who does not have Flickr) your albums, they really aren’t sure how Flickr works. It can be confusing to a new user. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way you could easily put your Flickr photos on your website in a more friendly way? Tan Tan Noodles shows us how!

This is what this tool is capable of doing:

* Display your Flickr photo sets as albums on your site
* Search engine friendly URLs
* Complete control over the look and feel, see below for customization details
* Show or hide your photos that have been marked ‘private’
* Flickr notes (Firefox only) and Flickr comments are supported
* Adds a new Flickr icon to your media bar which allows you to easily add Flickr photos to any blog post. Browse your photos by tags, album, or search everyone’s photos by tags
* Use WordPress shortcodes to easily insert photos from an album into a post. Eg: [flickr album=1234567] will insert into your post photos from album with id of “1234567”.
* Supports WordPress Widgets: Pull in your recent photos into your sidebar.

Check out the demo to see for yourself how easy and useful this tool is! Just click here.
