Using Flickr.com to host my images.

I've spent about a week fixing, tweaking, uploading and changing things so that (almost all) my images will come from flickr.com. I've had a pro-account for over 5 years and got tired of maintaining my own galleries and images on my site. I upload most of it to flickr anyway, so I figured 'Why not?'.

I really looked at reasons 'why not' and none of them seemed that much of a problem.
- Flickr may stop working (yes, so may my site)
- Flickr may do Bad Things to my images (currently, I don't believe that they will. In the future, maybe, so far, I've had no problem with the site and I don't expect any.)
- <insert other reason> (yeah uhm whatever)

I've installed the WordPress Flickr Manager plugin to help with the fancy stuff. It gives me an 'flickr-browser' in my post-edit screen so I can easily add a photo or two. Ofcourse I just figured out the HTML and edited flickr's 'send-to-log' layout to match the HTML.

I'll have to work back and edit older posts to match everything (I hate inconsistency) so it does increase the amount of work for a little bit. But after that, easy peasy photos in my post, woohoo.

I've tested Flickr's send-to-blog (actually, the 'e-mail-your-photo-and-send-that-to-your-blog') feature with a bunch of photos over the past few days and it worked like a charm. Which makes me want to post more little photos and such.

Not sure if that's a good thing... ;)
