flogr – Instant Flickr-powered Photoblog
I’ve been on the lookout for a good photoblog package for a while. Tonight I found flogr. Flogr is a very clean implementation of a photoblog “web layer” using the Flickr API. The site is highly configurable, and there are a few canned themes available. This product is awesome. You can see my implementation using it out-the-box; I haven’t changed anything other than configuration options.
One thing to watch out for: The application accesses your photos as an anonymous user – so if you have restricted access to the originals then it can only see the next size up. You’ll know what I’m talking about if your photos look pixellated. To fix this you need to change the photos’ license option to “creative commons” – or probably uploading a bigger original and keeping all rights reserved would also work (didn’t try that yet). Now I’ll have to follow in @NickHodge’s footsteps and go Wordpress theme hunting to find something that matches my swish new photoblog
