Ummm...hello? China?

Oh ok, hi, umm, what's up with the flickr blockade? You got something against the uber-cool and arguably most popular photo storage/sharing site?

Hmmm, mum's the word, eh?

I'm sure people pull some tricks to get around the blockage, but still, you don't you think it's a bit childish and rather lame to be blocking photos (let alone flickr!) in this day and age?

No? Well...most of the rest of the world thinks it is...good luck with that.

Flickr Leech is a neat way to view your flickr photos. Basically, it's just a long stream of thumbnails. Sweet.




So I've been tinkering over at Hongyun's Art Site. Here's how I built the basics of the new site with a mishmash of technologies including Movable Type, Flickr, and a basic Ajax.

1. The homepage thumbnails are actually "blog this" square thumbs from flickr.

2. After I get the post from flickr, I pop Paul Stamatiou's quick flickr slideshow code into the extended entry area of my MT entry.

3. The index template actually creates a call to some basic ajax code to load an html page into the content's div. So when you click on the page, it pops the extended entry's code right into the div (in this case it's the flickr slideshow for the corresponding set and some text).

I've been quite the little PHP junkie these days since hacking together CongaLOOP for your freepay pleasure. I've also been crunked up on Flickr as well since getting my hands on PPC-6700 and snapping photos left and right with it. The image quality is not spectacular, but it's not that bad and the direct-to-flickr-and-dodoskido-via-email feature is nearly unbeatable.

Now comes Addicted to Flickr by John Nunemaker. This little API set allows me to combine my flickr/PHP craze with my blogs. I think HongyunArt will be the first candidate for this update since we're looking into redesigning that site anyway.




Bad things will happen to your blog...
