Flickr Badged
A little over half a year ago, I wrote some PHP to display thumbnails of the 4 most recent photos in my Flickr Photoblog set. It felt kind of silly to me, because Flickr already had badge functionality. Unfortunately, their badges weren't styleable. My pixel perfectionist self just couldn't bear to slap an ill-fitting strip-o-photos on my site.
Lately, I've been thinking about tweaking my faux-badge code to display all my latest public photos, not just those in my Photoblog set. I decided to check the Flickr badge generator before doing so, and was pleased to find that (1) I can make a badge that displays all my latest public photos and (2) I can style my badges however I choose.
That was a no-brainer. After a little tweaking here and there, I now have a true Flickr badge in the sidebar. Pixel-for-pixel, it fits just like the faux-badge before it.
Yesh.
