I really really like Flickr service, but I can’t find a good way to use it. Since I have my own server that hosts all my photographs, I don’t really need to upload anything anywhere else. My current photo albums don’t have all the functionality that I could get from Flickr – tags, search, feeds, comments – but I hope that I will migrate to some powerful album software soon enough.
Once in a while I still upload some pictures, go through galleries, and leave some comments here and there. That’s about all I do with it.
Does anyone of you uses Flickr? What’s your profile? Do you know of any way I could use Flickr together with this blog?
By the way, if you are interested, my Flickr gallery is here.
I’ve been experimenting with Flickr on some of my websites and blogs.
I have a family science site where I am using Flickr badges to relate to the content.
For example Birds of Prey, where the badge is in the left column:

Another site I have is about toys and collectibles, here i have added a badge near the bottom of the page:
http://toyscollectibles.allinfo-about.com/
I have found that the ability to post pictures from Flickr into blogger accounts is quite useful:

I especially like to share photos with special interest pools, such as the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, the community is nice to be a part of.

Hmm… interesting. I am now thinking of how to break up the site into topic oriented pieces, so that I could use flickr and other services.
