WordPress Tutorials about Flickr



Flickr Photos in Website Design

September 19, 2010

Flickr is a photo sharing website which when integrated with WordPress adds a new dimension to your website layout.

Flickr photos from Orbis users on the Orbis website homepage.

As you add new photos to your Flickr account, they appear in the designated spot on your pages and keep your website looking fresh and interesting. Using the flickrRSS plugin means you can have your most recent Flickr images displaying across your homepage, in your website banner, in your sidebar or any other location on your website. I use Flickr to display screenshots of all the websites I’ve designed (see latest in my right sidebar) so it isn’t just limited to photos, although photos of local places on a tourism related website looks fantastic.

Create WordPress Posts from Flickr

April 29, 2010

flickr-wordpressLinking your Flickr account to your WordPress blog means you can turn any Flickr image into a blog post without even leaving Flickr. Just create a photo category on your website and make it the default category, add your blog to Flickr, then click on the ‘Blog This‘ button above any of your images to create a new post.

You can also add your Twitter account for tweets directly from Flickr. If you take lots of photos but aren’t much into writing blog posts, this could be the perfect way to keep your blog fresh and up to date. It is also a great way to bring your readers attention to your images.

Step #1 – Create a Photo Category

  1. Login to your WordPress website/blog
  2. Create a new post category for photo posts
  3. Go to Settings/Writing and select this category as the dafault post category
  4. Further down the page, tick the XML-RPC remote publishing
  5. Save Settings
