Plato's Mimetic Theory of Art(RS 25)

Flickr Plugin works, again.

Flickr changed how you access your images in early September. So I've updated the plugin. You'll need to have an "API Key" and a "Shared Secret", now. It is a good idea to put images on Flickr instead, or in addition to, stj servers. Flickr badges are cool, too. Do not activate the Flickr plugin if you don't have a Flickr account. You lose the ability to browse your blog's upload folder while Flickr plugin is active, I still don't know the fix. Look here, see if you can find a fix, too.
