WordPress Flickr DHTML Badge Plugin

Current Version: 0.2

Subscribe to Toolkit Updates

Note: This plugin is no longer being actively developed. Eventually, this plugin’s functionality will be rolled into the Photo Album plugin as a WordPress sidebar widget.

The JavaScript used for the display portion of this plugin is identical to the standalone Flickr DHTML Badge (which does not require WordPress and can be used with any online photo service). For the backend data retrieval, this plugin makes use of the phpFlickr class library.

If you find this plugin useful, please let me know by adding your site to the comments. Since this was my first WordPress plugin, I would also appreciate any comments, suggestions, or bug reports.
