bringing this thread back from the dead
because you seem like you have the flickr thing dialed pretty sweetly.
i am wondering if i can use flickr tech to make a bit of a gallery thing on my personal webpage, like, have my webpage grab a certain set of my pics on flickr and have them display on my webpage ?
i keep building a site to house my stuff, wanting to keep it simple stupid but then it gets to the point where its absolutely ridiculous to update it.
eg. i want to have a block on my page that comes from blogger
and then in the other block, have it pulling images from flickr
im gonna go ahead and see what i can break, but maybe you can shed some lgiht on this for me (or point me in the direction of something comparable)
i think i should be able to make it happen, flickr seems pretty sweetly thought out. I just wish I could take their whole software setup and host it myself so i didnt have to worry about the 10mb limit. but i guess thats where the $$ comes in.
im gonna spend some time uploading my stuff and see what i can do myself, without bugging you needlessly.
thanks,
Well, you can get RSS or Atom feeds as well, which would let you format the photos any way you’d like.
Sorta the way the rupertpics.com & menino.com photos show up here automagically. I also use bloglines to read a bunch of other “photoblogs” on the web too. RSS rocks.
10 MB isn’t a bad thing. Just resize to 1024x768 before you upload. I’ve never hit my limit, but then I have my own photo gallery too. Flickr’s just my “group share” thing.
Oh, for another example of RSS at work, check my signature below… then refresh this page.
