I love this Flickr plugin for WordPress

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.
This is true. I’m about to start using Flickr to add to my blog. Good post.
I’ve tried Flickr Photo Gallery as well and it is by far the best Flickr plugin for WP. Like you, I have experimented with Flickr Manager and Media Flickr but those programs just don’t accomplish what Photo Gallery can accomplish in such a clean design. Thanks for posting about this, This plug in needs some well deserved recognition.
Actually, never tried using this plugin but will think about it. It sounds awesome for blogs. Thanks!
