Photographs Now Flickerized
Posted on May 23, 2005 at 10:38 AM EST
All of the photos that are displayed in the photographs section are now entirely served from my Flickr account. I worked on a PHP script over the weekend that fetches my photos through Flickr’s wonderful API and displays them directly on my site. An RSS 2.0 feed is now available so if you use a news aggregator you can subscribe to the feed to be notified when new photos are posted. I’ve also added a link to view a slide show of each album so you don’t have to do so much clicking to see all of the photos.
I previously used Movable Type to create the albums which was tedious and time consuming whenever I had to add new photos since I had to add a new entry for each photo. Now all I have to do is just import my photos into iPhoto, assign them to a set, select the ones I’d like to upload, then export them to Flickr using FlickrExport.
The great thing about Flickr is that it is very easy to manage photos. They also give unlimited storage space (with Pro Accounts) so it’s a great way to store backups of high-resolution original images. After uploading 552 of my photos the past two days, I’ve already reached 63% of my bandwidth allotment (1.26 GBs) for the month. That’s a lot of pics!
