Ingredients

1 – A Computer with Internet Access

1 – A WordPress blog hosted on a web server (this example uses a WordPress MultiUser installation).

1 – The Flickr Album plugin installed on the WordPress blog

Directions

1. These directions will assume you have a working WordPress installation with the Flickr Album Plugin already installed.
2. Login to the Dashboard for your WordPress site.
3. Click on the Plugins link on the left-hand menu.
4. Locate the Flickr Album Plugin in the list of plugins. Click the Activate link.
5. You should see a link to go configure the plugin.
6. To use the Flickr Album Plugin, you need to have what is known as a Flickr API key. Follow the links to apply for one.
7. Once you have obtained your Flickr API key (and Shared secret key), enter them into the appropriate fields and click the Next button.
8. On the next page there are two steps. Step 1 is to click the button to Retrieve Flickr Permissions. This tells Flickr that your site will use the API key.
9. The next step is to apply those permissions. Click the Apply Permissions button.
10. If all went well you should see the Flickr Settings area where you can choose how you want images and albums to behave on your blog. Below that you should see some of your photos and/or albums appear. Make any changes you wish and click the Save Settings button.
11. When you start a new blog post, you’ll see a new blue and magenta button above the editing window that allows you to add any Flickr images from your account. Basically you choose an image, select a size (medium works well), and click the button to “Insert Into Post”.
