I&#8217;ve been using iTunes for about a month now. In reality the whole Xiu Xiu album would be at the top but I then got the album for xmas (thanks Ty!) and added it and it reset the count.<br \/>\nThis is also a test of integrating Flickr, that ever-more-popular web photo service, with jeffwerner.ca. I set up a test account a few months ago, but it&#8217;s really been the past few weeks that Flickr has become hard to ignore on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.7nights.com\/asterisk\/archive\/2004\/12\/flickr-rocks.php\">web<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/jeffcroft.com\/blog\/archives\/2004\/12\/im_officially_a.php\">design<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kottke.org\/04\/12\/favorite-weblogs-2004\">blog<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/web-graphics.com\/mtarchive\/001484.php\">circuit<\/a>. I&#8217;ll see how the integration goes&#8211;I really want to stop diversifying myself over so many applications and technologies, but man if Flickr ain&#8217;t the best web application I&#8217;ve used yet.<br \/>\nAlready I&#8217;ve noticed a few things after posting this entry from within my Flickr account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ve had to go back and edit the entry from my Movable Type interface to add the Category<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s a lot easier to add urls with MT&#8217;s built-in script tool<\/li>\n<li>Flickr added break tags instead of p tags (though this may have something to do with the Flickr blog posting templates I briefly set-up)<\/li>\n<li>Flickr does offer a javascript code for pulling your latest photo(s) into any external webpage, so I may use that to show a thumb of my latest Flickr upload rather than a new post<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the case of this particular meme (my first, btw), people are posting it to both their Flickr accounts and their personal blogs. If they&#8217;re just blogging it after posting it to Flickr then that&#8217;s cool, it&#8217;s really only one step for two points of publication. But this particular meme&#8217;s instructions ask to &#8220;leave a comment so they know where to look.&#8221; So now I have to decide which source to comment on, the Flickr account or the blog.<br \/>\nFinally (though I could\/should write a whole new entry just on Flickr photo blogging), you can&#8217;t control what sizes Flickr produces for your images (maybe you can in the paid pro version). It&#8217;s great that it does make four different sizes automatically, however. But when posting the photo to my blog, such as the one of my iTunes list, you can&#8217;t make out the text unless it&#8217;s full-size, which requires clicking through to the Flickr page from here, then the tiny All Sizes link, then the Large link. And I&#8217;m adding a seperate, possibly confusing URL to the mix. And&#8230;OK, for now I&#8217;ll just play around and see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meme Theme: MY Most Popular Music in iTunes As started by Michael of Binary Bonsai in his original Flickr post.
