Displaying My Photos

// March 10th, 2006 // My Stuff

FlickrOne of the largest driving forces for me to create my blog originally was to have a web based gallery to manage and share my pictures with family and friends. Originally, I thought Gallery was the right solution for me. I used it for awhile, but, in the end it felt a bit clunky.

Eventually I played around with Flickr under repeated advice from Casey. It became immediately clear that this interface was much friendlier. I started using it and converted a lot of my old Gallery images. The more I used Flickr the more it became clear how much it rocks.

One problem… I really wanted to be able to present my galleries inside the look and feel of my website. This slowed down my conversion. I was caught now with two ways to manage images, each with great benefits, each with their own chunk of my images.

The solution is using FAlbum by Random Byte. Now I can have the best of both worlds. So click on my new “Photo” tab, and say goodbye to Gallery.

    [...] I changed the link for my Flickr pictures and they now displpay within my website. So you no longer get directed to the Flicker site. This is thanks to a plugin called FAlbum by Random Byte posted over at my freind Zach’s site NoSheep.net. You can see his post on the plugin here. [...]
