Flickr

I’ve been trying to decide how to host my photos, since I haven’t been 100% satisfied with Gallery 2. I was initially opposed to using Flickr because I wanted my photos to be well integrated into my site, but I started playing with it a couple nights ago. And of course it turns out there’s a whole slew of WordPress plugins for Flickr, including fAlbum, which I’ve been testing out a little and so far it seems awesome.

Flickr even has most of the features I’ve wanted in a photo-hosting solution, and it seems they have a great feedback loop/quick release cycle to boot. I was just complaining to Kenny yesterday that I couldn’t organize my photo sets into uber-sets (albums and sub-albums, in Gallery terminology), and today they released the feature (they call the uber-albums “Collections”). Sweet.

Now I just need them to give me the flexibility to choose which photo in my set is the “highlight,” as I used to be able to do in Gallery, instead of automatically using the most recent photo as the highlight.

I’ll unveil my Flickr page in a few days, when I’m finished uploading my thousands of pictures. If you really want to see it beforehand, it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
