Having a Flickr day

Rubber thoughts

One of the things that made me start the blog is that I wanted to stop uploading my pictures to Facebook.  But WordPress does not offer a good way protect your pictures (at least not on the theme I picked).  So I started researching online. I found Flickr, which has become one of the most popular options for photographers. 

Basic account is free but the number of uploads is limited.  You can upgrade to an unlimited Pro account for $25 a year.  I like that I can create a photo stream to plug anywhere. I can even blog from Flickr but their design is very poor.  I can setup rights to keep pictures private or public and  have them available with several copyrights options.  Yes, it is still “the cloud”…

 Today I discovered I can create a HTML code plug in my blog so now I don’t even have to upload pictures in WordPress.  Just click on your picture, click on share this, and select the option: email, link, HTML code… Pretty shabby….
