Adding flickr and other photo galleries to WordPress posts

Of course this can be done manually, but for the sake of keeping things organized and simplying adding things in you can use a WordPress plugin called Photonic. It integrates into the Upload/Insert dialog and allows you create in post galleries from Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, and 500px.

Adding Flickr first requires adding the Flickr API key. There is a link directly in the Flickr section of the plugin settings. Then you have to get your user ID from your photo stream URL. There is a link to a site that will tell you it right in the plugin’s upload dialog. The string is fairly easy to recognize, as you will see a string of characters likeĀ 83678835@N00 at the end of the URL when you go to your photostream.

You can then customize your selection by narrowing it down to certain tags, or a specific gallery. Below you will see my complete photostream.
