Since starting this Wordpress-powered blog, I’ve experimented with several Flickr plugins.
I’ve tried Wordpress Flickr Manager and Wordpress Media Flickr, which came highly rated by users and made it simpler to add photos to posts. But what I really wanted was something that would display photos in the sidebar. Because, you know, visuals help.
I’ve finally found it: Flickr Photo Gallery by Joe Tan. Look to your right, and you’ll see the fruits of my search. The plugin also came with some nice surprises:
- Like the others I tried, this plugin has a function that inserts photos from my photostream into posts. I find this function cleaner than the others.
- Flickr Photo Gallery can create a photo gallery page on your site, and all you have to do is create a URL in the plugin settings. Mine is right here.
