Geeking Out

For the first time in months, I’m updating this blog. Working and traveling as much as I have lately I haven’t taken the time to update this site. I have however updated Twitter & Facebook .. so today I’ve been researching ways to tie those two sites into this blog here .. so that I can feel like there’s a purpose of having this site ..

I’ve come across a few plugins that you may want to check out:

Fotobook – Fotobook downloads your albums from Facebook and adds them to a page on your wordpress blog. You can see my album [here].

Next up .. twitter .. I already had a twitter widget that posts my updates in my sidebar .. but since I’m not really writing full blog posts right now .. I decided to find something that will download my ‘tweets’ and post them. [Twitter Tools] by Alex King makes this really simple. It has a bunch of tools besides what I was looking for, including a sidebar widget, a twitter update box in the dashboard and it will update twitter when you post a new blog post (all easily turned off or on).

I’m still looking for a way to consolidate my facebook and flickr photos .. maybe I’ll have to move my flickr photos to facebook .. will let you know if I find anything good ..

UPDATE: Last night I discovered [flickr copy] a facebook application that copies photos you have on flickr and puts them onto facebook. I tried with on of my ‘sets’ and it was flawless :) Now I can keep my high resolution images on flickr and have a way to share them on facebook.
