My blog is primary a photo journal. Having a plugin which does such a good job displaying photos from my flickr collection is essential. This does the job. I can republish changes in Flickr and they are automatically replicated here,

Now wait a minute. This plugin basically just worked as advertised, immediately, with a few minutes of clear and minimal setup, and no hairpulling required. And, it’s free, not a come on for “pro” cash grab.Is it still 2024? Is this still WordPress? Eight stars. Ten stars. Five is not enough. Thank you, developer!
