I'm sure plenty of Blogharbor people out there have tried the photo sharing site Flickr (www.flickr.com). Flickr allows you to post directly to your blog, but BlogHarbor haven't got a How To up on this yet. If anyone's interested, these are the settings I've used, cribbed from another BloggerAPI how to, and they work fine. Once set up, you can click the "blog this" button on any Flickr photo, and it'll post it up on your Blogharbor blog no probs - very cool Cool

When you first click "Blog this" on Flickr, it will ask you to set up your blog. Here;s how you do it:

Blog Type: BloggerAPI enabled blog
API endpoint: api.blogharbor.com/xmlrpc.cgi

username and password as normal - though you might need your username in all lower case. I did, for some reason.

Hope that helps Smile

Alex.

Alex - Thanks for your notes. We did post a short 3 step list here last week:

We took some screenshots and hopefully will pull it all together for inclusion with the rest of our HowTo series.

One note, you should choose MetaWeblog API Enabled Blog instead of BloggerAPI enabled blog. The MetaWeblog API is a richer set of instructions, so if Flickr is presenting different capabilites to you based on the API your blog supports then choosing MetaWeblog should give you additional options.
