How To Integrate Flickr Photos Into Your Blog Post
Welcome to another John Chow dot Com screen cast. Today, I’m going to show a really nice Wordpress plugin to embed Flickr photos into your blog posts. The plugin is call Flickr Photo Album for WordPress by Tan Tan Noodles. This is the same plugin that powers my photo gallery.
One really cool feature of the Flickr Photo Album is it will add a new Flickr icon to your WordPress editor screen. This will allow you to easily insert your Flickr photos into your blog posts with just a couple clicks. You can have the inserted photos link to your WordPress photo album or directly to your Flickr.com photo album.
There are a couple of advantages to having Flickr host your photos. The first is you save resources on your server or hosting plan. The second is Flickr can send traffic to your blog. Watch the screen cast to find out how you can do this.

Reply to this commentDon’t you have to pay for Flickr once you upload X number of photos?
Reply to this commentFlickr for up to 200 photos. But it’s only $25 a year ($45 for two years) for unlimited uploads.
Reply to this commentSo why don’t you just upload them to your own website?
Reply to this commentI’m curious to know what John will say, but for me, there are multiple big strengths of Flickr: it’s a popular social network and I appreciate the interactivity and discussions. Also, its Organizer is far beyond anything I’ve seen in any other image host. The fact that it generates multiple-sized versions of each picture is a plus for me, too.
I love using Pictobrowser and Flickr Set Manager to come up with dynamic sets like this:

Reply to this commentI would appreciate a similar post for uploading Flickr into blogger accounts..
Reply to this commentBecause Flickr is easier to use and it can send you traffic from all the Flickr users who browse your photos.
Reply to this commentInteresting. I might have to give it a go.
Reply to this commentI’ve always thought Tan Tan Noodles was such a cool and funny name.
Reply to this commentSame here. Lovely to see John making more screencasts/video tutorials.
Reply to this commentThis looks to be a great tool to easily update and upload photos to your blog. Another great use of video blogging again, thanks John!
Reply to this commentThe problem is uploading photos and not sharing them or inserting them in wordpress
Reply to this commentWell, I’ve installed this plugin since you’ve updated your site’s design. What can I say, it’s pretty slick.
Reply to this commenti have the post talk about putting the flickr photo in wordpress sidebar - http://izzataziz.com/flickr-in-your-wordpress-sidebar/ , i suggest people to use flickrrss, my reason is because it is easier than the one you use, what you think about it which one is better?
Reply to this commentI am more and more thinking of switching from Blogger to Wordpress…
Blogger has a really nice technical potential, but it’s too bad no one developed nice themes and plugins, even though it is a extensible as Wordpress.
Reply to this commentI highly recommend it. I am much happier with Wordpress.
Reply to this commentI don’t think Blogger is as extensible as Wordpress at ALL.
Reply to this commentCool plugin John, one more reason to take random pics and post them.
Reply to this commentWow great plugin… just installed it. Totally seamless. looks like it was part of the initial blog design.
Kudos to TanTan
Reply to this commentThanks John for this information.
Reply to this commentJohn, how come I can’t see the photo statistics in my own flickr account?
Reply to this commentvery sorry…I think I did not turn it on…..8-P
BTW, view my photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobgoh/
Reply to this commentThis is pretty easy..! Cheers John..
Reply to this commentUseful informations!!! Thank you
Reply to this commentsense of deja vu here, wasn’t this posted a few weeks back?
Reply to this commenttrying to break up all the review posts by rehashing old posts?
The last time was using the plugin to create the photo gallery. Not many knew it also links your editor to your Flikcr account.
Reply to this commentThanks for the reply John. I don’t mean to be critical, It’s your blog & you do a fantastic job with it, monetizing to the last, but I still don’t see the difference…
Reply to this commentA new blog post, stating the same thing as the previous one but mentioning a button in the wordpress write post area that I thought you had mentioned in the original post anyway doesn’t seem like a follow up post to me, but then again, thats just me…
Why would you need to embed Flickr Photos in a blog post, can’t you just paste it’s script in the blog post? Why use a plug-in for this purpose?
Reply to this commentAnother good wordpress plugin for flickr is called WP-Flickr. Greg Ellison
Reply to this commentQuestion - I don’t have a flikr account, but use a lot of pics from Flikr. Would it work for the same purpose? Can I put anyones pics on my blog using the pluggin?
Reply to this commentThe plugin only links one Flickr account.
Reply to this commentI recently had a very bad experience with Flickr, although free photo hosting can help to save a lot of bandwith but i still NOT recommend serious blogger frequently embed flickr photo in blog post, imagine case like me (http://ping.fm/d0F7q) flickr banned your account and all your blog post will look so ugly and can’t recover content back!
Reply to this commentI wish they had something as good for picasa. I like the picasa service better.
Reply to this commentThere is a Wordpress plugin for Picasa. It’s called Shashin. You can download it here:

Reply to this commentRight on John - I have been planning on finding a plugin that does just what this one does. Thanks for saving me the time of searching for it.
Reply to this commentGood post. I was just thinking of adding photos to my blog. Thanks for the help
Reply to this commentFlickr hmmm
Reply to this commentI’m a little hesitant to use a flikr for the site. I’m a wedding photographer by trade and my product is photographs. I have moved away from the standard professional photographer website and moved to a blog style to not only set me apart but also to let them know a little more about me. You know, the connection part of building a brand. I guess i could put my candid shots of me haning out and where I go. I don’t think that people are going to use that to judge my work but it does let people know who I am. IN FACT HERE’S A QUESTION: HAS FLICKR OPENED PEOPLE UP TO VISIT YOU SITE MORE?

I kind of like the flickr slides better because it easier to download and use on the actual website. All you do is finish on the website and then take the code and place it on your blog. Quite simple. Thanks for the posts though 
Reply to this commentGreat post.
Some very interesting statistics there. Can’t believe only 8% of all views are from this blog.
Reply to this commentNice. I just posted the other day about how to market your photos on Flickr, but I could use this, too, since I always use my Flickr images in my posts.
Reply to this commentlooks neat
Reply to this commentGreat video, John. In fact, we added it to our site, with a link back here, of course.

I diggin the cars you’ve been posting. The Z06 Vette was awesome!
Reply to this commenti wonder if they have something like this for a blogger blog
Reply to this commentNice article John, will trackback to you on my blog
thanks!
Reply to this commentOne thing that kept me from using flickr is that I was always told that it would just cause someone to go back to flickr to see the pics rather then keeping the view on the blog or even have the person looking at the photo on flickr stay on flickr. Thanks, for the update and plugin that keeps everyone on the site
Reply to this commentHave set the photo channel in flickr for this right now using it on one of my beauty tips blog
Reply to this commentThank you for your site
