I’ve been doing some research here and there over the last week or two and have been ankle deep in flickr the whole time. I’m not a flickr wizard, but I did find a few sweet tricks I thought you would be interested in. Most of these have been around for a while, so it’s nothing “Hot off The Press”, but cool all the same.

I also figured I would share with you the two plugins that I’ve found to be the most usable that will help you pull your flickr pics into your WP Blog.

Keep in mind, there are probably thousands of flickr apps, plugins, javascripts and whatNot to keep us happy for years with our flickr. So!, if you have any good suggestions lets hear it.

My Top 2 Flickr WP Plugins ↓

• flickrRSS Plugin – Great for adding widgets to your sidebar. Also works with wpTouch for the iphone.
• Flickr Photo Album – Brings your flickr account to your Edit Posts Page & More. There is a lot to this plugin,, I only use it to bring my flickr to my edit posts page.

Do you know the answer to this question. What is the difference between using the term “Blog” and the using the term “Post”?

If you are an “Author” of a “Blog” than you are a “Blogger”. As an “Author” you “Publish” content one “Post” at a time to your “Blog”.

When you announce that you have written new content you should say something like this:

• “I have a new Post out”
• “Just Published a New Post“
• “Check out my Latest Post“
• “My latest Blog Entry is a Masterpiece, Go Now”
• “Just finished the worst Blog Post ever, I should delete it.”

Never do the following:

• “New Blog up, Go Now”
• “Just finished a new Blog check it out.”
• “My latest Blog is a master piece, You’ll love it.”
• “Just wrote the best Blog ever in my entire life, better than you ever.”
• “I Blogged a Blog and Blogged it to my Blog, You should Blog it!” Doe!!!

What am I getting at?

Don’t say stupid things like “I just finished a new Blog“, unless you actually just started a new Blog at Blogspot.com or WordPress.com or TypePad.com…. Do you see my point! The word Blog is talking about a specific Blog associated with a unique URL.

• Blog, Blogger, Blogging, Blogged
• Post, Posting, Posted

This has been a message of Blogs for Blogs Network…

Over time I don’t think any one could deny the fact that the technology we’re worinkg on right now are just play things to our Kids.

What will happen over the next 20yrs as these kids develop. Yeah, yeah, flying cars and microchips blaw blaw blaw… Let’s move past that typical crap and be realistic. What happens to a generation that uses communications and plays with technology from the time their able to hold it in their hand.

From age 2 kids these kids have touch screen toys popping digital bubble wrap, and watching their Pops play labyrinth with an Accelerometer rather than a marble. Their parents have always had a device that’s either in their hand, pocket, purse at all times.

Basically I’m curious about how the younger generation will take our greatest achievements and turn them into daily items.
