Testing flickr on this blog. Looks like it worked. Where did I find this image? Is there a search engine for images somewhere?
Who?

Back to Flickr
Testing it here, but wanting to use this on In this moment… my art blog This is one of my early ThousandSketches
How and where to share photos remains a problem IMO. Flickr is rather wonderful but it is in the hands of yahoo, which is a gross company. I’ve hated them ever since they bought egroups and messed them up.
I have never managed the WordPress upload system well, perhaps that would be ok, but it is nice to have all my pix on a photo site that is social and public, yet not the blog. Zenphoto was ok, I had a series of rather nice albums. But it got out of date and let in the hack attack perhaps. Hard to maintain. There is a lot to be said for Flickr – WordPress, Facebook, twitter integration, slideshows, email sharing etc
Morris L West
I’m enjoying reading The Devil’s Advocate. Now curious about its Australian Author. Storified Research. I like it. I was wondering how Christian West was, yes, but he is not a preacher.
And this time its all on my site! I could still go & update it there.
Psychodrama on Storify
There is meant to be a way to put this on my blog, not (only) on the Storify site. But it does not seem to work.
Never the less, this is a slice of the Moranien psychodrama mentions on the net on July 9 2011. Some good stuff there. (I thought I’d posted this before? – perhaps it was one of the ones that got lost in the db crash?)
Lost my Database in this blog!
Whew. I’ve just restored it from a backup. I did loose about 5 posts.
I’ve also lost some widgets it seems, my photos don’t turn up, and the carefully constructed top of the sidebar is not there. Damn
Psyberspace
What is this blog about? It might be all over the place but this picture shows how my filter works.
At the heart is a patch where there is a psychological, or soulful aesthetic, cyberspace phenomena that makes the world a better place.
Testing ZenPhotoPress plugin update
That worked pretty well, it is almost as easy to do manually, and then I get my own border.
The gallery option may be useful:
[zenphotopress album=69 sort=random number=8]
It is also nice to have the sidedbar working. ~ OK, so that is it done, flickr is “depricated”. will write up more reflections on the point of all this soon.
Image Management on Blogs
I’ve jumped around a bit with how to store photos on my blogs. Flickr seemed good as it tied in with an instant community, but uploading to flickr is not quick, and getting the photos back to show in a post is a bit messy. WordPress uploads (to WordPress on my server) seemed ok for a while but it is too complex. I also had some flash based displays & uploads that were ok. But now I am experimenting with putting them all on my own server just with FTP and using open source Zenphotos. It seems I am more in control and it is quick with FTP.
In 2011 I will link back from the photos site to the blog posts as well. As I’ve already done on the one new photo in the album:

New Photo Page
I wonder how many other people decided to look at alternatives to flickr?
I’ve made a new photo page.
Looks OK – it is all on my own server… but keep a copy as well. I see there is a pluging to import flickr data. However it is not all that social, or is it? it has comments and it must be easy to share stuff. Hmmm using the Internet, that is social.
and pasting an image here is easy!
