Flogr – A Flickr powered photoblog

Michael — Thu, 10 May 2007 05:55:50 +0000

Introduction

Flogr shows your pictures from flickr in a customizable photo portfolio interface which includes a main photo page with EXIF details, geo data, and flickr user comments, a customizable thumbnails page of your recent work, a slideshow component to browse through thumbnails, a tag cloud page, and an about page that shows your flickr user profile. With flogr you can control which photos are shown by specifying the flickr tag(s) to include so you can show only your best photographs if you choose.

Flogr is powered by PHP, MySQL (optional), and Flickr. It is an easy to setup and easy to customize alternative for folks that currently hack their own photoblog using MT or Wordpress, or those trying to make Gallery or Pixelpost work with Flickr. If you use Flickr and want to have your own photoblog, but don’t want to hack blog software or upload the same pictures multiple times (to flickr and pixelpost for example) then Flogr may be what you’re after.

A few Apple gift ideas

For those folks looking for gift ideas for me the new iPhone looks pretty cool. If $500 is out of the price range consider the silver membership gift AppleTV which looks pretty nifty as well.

New photos page

Michael — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 05:36:19 +0000

Recently I’ve been thinking about getting back into the habit of taking pictures daily (or at least regularly), but I wasn’t wild about my current system of posting a picture to flickr and then manually uploading, titling, and commenting the photo again on my photoblog site which uses pixelpost. But tonight I found a nice Wordpress plugin called FAlbum that may finally set me free from my multiple photo upload routine. FAlbum let’s you display your flickr pictures through your Wordpress theme, which to me, makes it feel a little more personal. So head on over to the new photos page and have a look around.
