Flickr Frustrations

Posted April 12th, 2011 at 3:41PM

So I created my account over at Flickr before they were bought by Yahoo!, and naturally I liked the service better when it was independent. When they merged, I had to use an antiquated Yahoo! account, and I go through phases where I’m unable to log into Flickr because I can’t remember the the Yahoo! account, e-mail or password.

And now with all of this cross-integration nonsense, I’ve apparently linked my active Gmail accounts to new Flickr accounts, but not that original account I use. And my main Yahoo! account has been integrated with one of my Gmail accounts — but not the Redskunk Flickr. Whatnow?

I’d be more inclined to switch to a different service, if I didn’t have thousands of photos already uploaded. And of course, my Pro account expired in March, so I only have access to the last 200. Err. There are a lot of photographs languishing on my laptop that I’ve wanted to upload to Flickr.

I’ve updated the site a bit today, widening it so that I can cleanly display 500px-wide photos from flickr and adding a gallery of all my photos on flickr (check the “photos” link in menu above).

I’ve got a few post ideas so stay tuned for those as well.

Photo Gallery Finally Working!

Posted September 29th, 2005 at 3:09PM

After months and months of trying, off and on, to get a photo gallery working (and integrated) on the site, it was finally done with a simply plug-and-play WordPress plug-in called FAlbum.

You can see it in action in my photos section. Put simply, the way it works is that it pulls photos from your Flickr account. The benefits of pulling photos off of Flickr (instead of storing them locally) are multifold. Your own server doesn’t get weighted down with tons of photos being uploaded (useful if you’re trying to minimize bandwidth consumption). You are able to have both a gallery on your site, and be able to participate in the other features that Flickr includes. And, for people like myself who occasionally have site problems (*cough* because you don’t know what you’re doing), it’s a way to safeguard your files from accidental deletion.

And so on. So give it a go and see how you like it!

Dreaming About Forums.

I’ve been thinking that maybe having a “group” (ie. forum) on Flickr could work in place of having a forum on here. Just a thought, think it over.

I’m looking at you Bakshi.

hmm…
