Use your blog as a Flickr client

If you take into account my opinion, I think Flickr best photo sharing site that has many so pleasant things that entice me somewhere we can only do more of "Goodies". If you have your own blog, or on the standalone blogging services like LiveJournal, any photos and videos from this service, you can post to your blog directly from Flickr, and even ask how it will look like in eventually. This is what we will tell you today.

To connect your blog or multiple blogs to the Flickr account, do the following:

1. Follow this link http://flickr.com/account/?tab=extend or Flickr navigation: You -> Your Account -> insetExtending FlickrAnd then go down the page in the section Your Blogs and click on edit.

2. push on Add abother blog and select the type of your blog:

By the way, for a standalone blog on WordPress is not necessary to choose WordPress Blog (it's for a blog service to Wirdress.com), and MetaWeblogAPI. If the blog hosting is simple and intuitive, then WordPress will dwell.

3. Here is the setting for a blog Lifehacker.ru, ie for a blog that runs on WordPress and It is not in the folder, and in the root of the domain (do not type www in front of the domain from Flickr it will not take your blog for some reason):

4. Confirm the entered information after clicking on NEXT.

5. All DONE. Now move on to how to be ironed your posts.

6. clicking on create a custom posting template, You get to select the default page layouts, placement of photos and video.

Layout for the photo:

Layout for the video:

Choose a simple click that is right for you.

7. Now you need to know that when posting photos in any layout you will post to your blog:

1. headerWho themselves enter;
2. textThat you enter yourself;
3. photo or video to be displayed in a predetermined size, click on them to transfer to the original photos on Flickr.
4. captions to photos / videos, they display the title of the photo with a link to it, as well as the author's name is in reference to his album.

The good news is that the item 7.4 can be changed or removed completely, if not tortured conscience :) If customization does not interest you, then push on the USE THIS, otherwise on CUSTOMIZE.

8. Customization is a change of HTML code.

Now a little about the posting.

When viewing photos or videos on Flickr, klikayte on top of the content on BLOG THIS button and select your blog:

After clicking on the selected entries, you will transfer to the page where you can specify the message subject and text (you may use HTML). Click POST ENTRY and photos / videos instantly gets in your blog. The only drawback of this type of posting is the inability to set the categories and tags for your post.
