I’ve been flickrised!
Yep, finally decided to get myself a Flickr account. At the moment it’s only a free account but when I start using it more often i’ll work out some way to pay for a pro account (not having a damn credit card at all ;)).
You can view my photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/surfichris/.
At the moment (as of writing) there are only two photos up as I was just playing around with Flickr to get used to the interface. I must say though, i’m very impressed with how easy it is to use the whole system and how powerful it is as well. Whilst playing around I installed the Flickr Gallery plugin for WordPress. You can see that here: http://www.surfionline.com/photos/. Apart from it saying there are three photos in the Lake Conjola album (when quite clearly there are two), it is pretty damn nice.
I’m still playing around and I’ll hopefully end up with a list of recent flickr’ed photos like Michael has over on the side bar at Binary Bonsai. I’ll also be using Flickr and this plugin to replace the existing gallery on this site.
Other Plugins
Okay, because of the 1.5 upgrade I decided I would start with a clean slate for plugins. Right now i’m running the following plugins:
- Auto Moderate Comments
- Flickr Gallery 0.7
- Gravatars
- MF Favorites - Thanks Michele!
- SO Recent Activity - This plugin is actually a rewrite of Brian’s Recent Comments plugin as for some reason I couldn’t create temporary tables.
I’ll probably end up adding more and playing with the new WordPress features during the rest of this weekend. I’ve also got in my head some new ideas for the new theme for this place - but wait for it, i’m going back to blue!

I’ve yet to be Flickrised… I’m feeling the temptation though…

Nice to know your using my plugin. Have you experienced any problem?
And BTW, Flickr is simply great…I love it!

Well, I experienced a problem when installing it - for some reason it didn’t make the necessary tables. I did have something to do with the user level variable.
Oh yeah, for some reason $user_level wasn’t being assigned (don’t ask me why not either :-/) so I added the following code just above the if($user_level >=
if(!$user_level){
get_currentuserinfo();
}
