edpaffjr.comYou may have noticed that the photos section of the site is currently down. I won’t bore you with too many details, but usually my site is hosted on one of my computers at home. Well this particular computer is currently on a truck somewhere and for all I know it could be in Mexico someplace. During the move I am hosting my site from my buddy Aaron’s webserver. To make my long story short, I couldn’t get all of my picture data onto his server quick enough, so I decided to disable it for the move.
This situation presented a problem for me, as I wanted to share some pictures that Kim took during our 600 mile drive from Kansas City to Denver. Using my quick thinking, I decided to give flickr a try. I know tons of people who currently use flickr and it still appears to be one of the most popular choices for photo sharing. So far I must admit that the service is very easy to use. I don’t know if I could ever make the switch over from hosting my own gallery software on my server, but if I did I think flickr would be on the top of my list.
Anyway, I’ve successfully added 18 pictures from our drive for your viewing pleasure.
Ed, there is an excellent Flickr plugin for WordPress. So you get the benefits of storing the photos on Flickr and being able to have them integrated into your site as well. Check it out at

Tom, do you use that plugin for your site? I may look into the Flickr integrations a little more in this down time.
