Flickr Fun

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, but I’d like to put my latest Flickr photo thumbnails in the Lockergnome HTML newsletters. Since I use CaRP, I have virtually no configuration options (other than manual hacking or asking Antone). In searching for an easy way to get ‘er done, I found this solution from Fuddland (but it relies on MagpieRSS, which I’d rather not use). The information is already in the feed - it’s getting it out of the feed that’s a bit tricky for people like myself. Why doesn’t Flickr just have a separate feed for thumbnails - letting the user designate the size of the desired output? Yeah, there’s an API for that - but have I not beaten it into the world’s skull that I’m not a developer? In my Flickr travels, I found quite a few useful tools - including one I used this morning for my previous Dell post.

• Clipr - Upload Clipboarded Screen Shots
• deskFlickr - Create Collages from Flickr Tags
• photocastr - Form for Easier Flickr Photocasting
• John’s Background Switcher - Change Your Desktop Wallpaper with Flickr Tags

What other amazing Flickr tools am I not aware of?
