This was based initially on the Flickr Badge Widget, but it is a lot more basic, and uses a Plogger library feed for its source.

I wrote it because Flickr started wanting to charge me for hosting photos. I pay a few bucks a month on web hosting, and didn't see the point in also paying Flickr, given that uploading via SCP is no harder than using jUploadr or whatever. I installed Plogger, which seems to be a decent bare-bones replacement.

However, the one thing I missed about Flickr was the nice WordPress widget that showed my photos in the sidebar of my blog. So, I scratched my own itch and wrote this widget. Presto - thumbnail images in the sidebar.

You just assign it a Plogger feed URL and it does its thing. (The GPL PHP RSS library lastRSS is included - which makes this widget GPL too.)

It is still very basic and needs some developer TLC to give it the features that Plogger deserves. Hit me up if you can help - I don't have much free time, so improvements will be slow if it's just me on my own.
