I’ve been tweaking how I manage the ephemeral media here on my blog. Today, I added a page that shows the most recent 50 images uploaded to the site, with links to the post about each image. It’s a bit more like a photostream view, and the page includes links to the larger bloggish photostream view, as well as the RSS feed for ephemeral stuff.
To do this, I’m just using the native WordPress media manager to handle the images (which happens automagically), and the YD Recent Images plugin and Widgets on Pages plugin to embed the photo/imagestream on the page. This is pretty close to how I imagined displaying images here. Now, to think more about how to better replace the missing community features from Flickr’s Contacts page…
