This is just a test to see how well flickr incorporates into my blog. I will attempt (emphasis on attempt) to intergrate it into my blog. Why you ask? Well, for one I just do NOT like my current photo album. Well, that is not entirely true. I actually do like my current photo album. However, it does not like me (or my website). Let me explain.

OK, when you click on the “photos” link above it takes you to a page that has nice little pictures for you to look at. The problem however is that the thumbnails (the small photos for those who do not know what a thumnail is), is created on the fly. This is absolutely horrible, because when too many people click on the link, or I have too many pictures to display, my hosting company thinks the code in my site has gone amuck and kills the connection to my site. Leaving my visitors staring at a nice bright red “CPU cycle blah blah blah” message. Not good, not good at all.

OK, so I changed the above ‘photos’ link to go to a Flickr based photo album. My initial thoughts are that it looks pretty good (and works well). However, there are a few things (most notably the inability to leave a comment unless you register with Flickr) which I dislike. Either way, I will leave it up for awhile and we will see how it all works out over the next couple of weeks.

Anyway, I noticed that a lot of blogs use flickr as their photo gallery of choice, so, I decided to give it a try. Maybe I’ll keep it, maybe I won’t. Who knows?
