Let us talk a little about blogates.

Ok, display your photo on your sidebar is easy. First, click the tab “Sidebar Widgets” on top menu.

Drag and drop the Flickr Photo into sidebar box.

Configure your settings with ID:
If you want to show your own flickr photo, enter your flickr ID(Not Screen Name), you may get your ID here idgettr.com and enter your photo tags(Optional).

Configure your setting without ID:
Enter your favourite tags if show photo with tags only. Leave the USER ID blank.

Can I get random images from my stream?
Nope, it’s a limitation of using the RSS feed (it only displays the last 10 photos)

When I put multiple tags in, it only shows one of them
No, the RSS feed shows both, but it’s a combination rather than intersection. So, you’ll get the most recent photos from both tags, not the set of photos that contain both tags

This plugin allows you to make your blog temporarily unavailable to your users. It is still accessible by the administrators.

We found blogger could not access the administrative section or login after this plugin actived.

We has found the bug and solved it! Now you can acess the your admin panel even while this plugin is activated. Cheer!

We are sorry Blogates currently don’t allow Google Adsense or other JS ad code on the site, though we probably will in the future. However right now it is keeping sploggers (spam bloggers) from exploiting Blogates.com and only a few legit users have asked for it.

We have a very low tolerance for blogs created purely for search engine optimization or commercial purposes, machine-generated blogs, and will continue to nuke them, so if that’s what you’re interested in Blogates is not for you.
