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?
