Slickr Flickr WordPress Gallery Plugin

Blog - WordPress


When it comes to image gallery plugins, there are tons of options available. In this article we will be sharing with you a plugin that displays your Flickr photos into WordPress posts, pages, and/or sidebar widgets. Slickr Flickr WordPress Plugin by Russell Jamieson is an easy to use plugin that is great for all blogs.

Why use Flickr?

Most of you are probably thinking why someone should use Flickr, when they can simply upload the photos on their host. Flickr is great for event photos because it is really easy to make it public. Flickr can be connected with Facebook, WordPress, and any other app that you want. It saves your bandwidth, and it increase exposure.

We started our Flickr account today after we created our Events category. This is a great way to really connect with our audience.
