Flickr Gallery

I know it’s not strictly music related, but I know that many bands use Flickr, so hopefully this plugin is useful too.

Be sure to backup all of your customizations before you upgrade your plugin from the WordPress plugins admin page.  If you’re uploading the new files yourself, or upgrading via SVN, you shouldn’t have any problems.

If you’re running an older version of WordPress, you could be putting yourself at risk.  If you aren’t comfortable upgrading your WordPress install, make some geeky friends and get them to do it for you.  If you need professional help upgrading, including testing themes and plugins against the new version, you know where to find me. :D
