Initial Impressions

Hmm...

It seems to work, to a certain extent, but I am not sure.  The most annoying thing is the extra line spaces it generates when it Flickr creates a post on my Blogger.com site.  It just looks stupid and I have to log into Blogger.com to edit text of the post.  Perhaps there is some setting I need to set on Flickr.

Another problem I faced is I find Flickr not very intuitive from a user perspective.  For example, I can't locate the email settings for the email blog on Flickr that easily.  I have to go through a couple of links before I get to the settings page I want to see.  Hence why I am not sure where things are or placed on Flickr.  Perhaps there's a learning curve to Flickr which I have yet to discover.

Another small thing I see is that since starting the marriage of Flickr/Blogger.com, the Blogger.com menu bar at the top of my blog seem to have half-disappeared.  Very strange indeed!

I will need to try this out for a little bit longer and see the results.

I did some digging around and found the following:

FlickR formats your blog email when it posts it to FlickR but then it sends this formated entry to your blogger and that also adds more break returns and hence, the double break returns...

The workaround seems to be, if you go to "your blogs page" @ http://flickr.com/blogs.gne and then select the "layout" option for your Blogger entry it gives you the HTML template that it uses to send your blog entry. If you then find and modify the {description} tag to read {description_raw} it will then send the original blogged entry in your email and the final blogger entry will only have the one set break returns applied to it...
