hanks for reminding me that I didn’t close THAT loop.

I don’t know if I’m the Christ, or the Anti-Christ. I’m just here to help.

Okay, now I feel like (more of) an ass. I uploaded <a href="http://communicatrix.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/flickr-code.png" rel="nofollow">a screenshot</a> of the WP editor so people can see what the hell I'm talking about. And remember: it just took three characters (and some setup time) to get there! Bah!

Create a piece of boilerplate in an autotype program with everything but the actual link to the photo itself. TextExpander (from whom I receive no renumeration!) is esp. great b/c you can set it to move the cursor to where you want to start typing. 2. Write your entire post, upload your photo from Flickr and link it. 4. While you still have the URL in your computer's memory, scroll down to the bitter end of your post and type your shortcut, then paste that URL in the appropriate spot (like I said, TextExpander is the bomb for this.) This allows you to build in as much excellent info and linkage as you like with a minimum of time & keystrokes. For example, when I type in my shortcut--"ffl"--this pops up... <em>Image by via Flickr, used under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/deed.en-us" rel="nofollow">a Creative Commons license</a></em>. ...with the cursor automagically in the space b/w "by" and "via." (Hopefully, your blog doesn't convert the html, but if it did, you can just select the link to see how many characters I stuffed into that shortcut.) I also like to go back to Flickr and leave a brief thx. note as a comment, along with a URL, both as a backup way of making sure they see their photo in use and a way to let other users know how much this photo is beloved! Anyway, this is a long-ass comment, but I'm telling you: setting up this system has saved me insane amounts of time and made me feel better about sharing linkage.

For example, when I type in my shortcut–”ffl”–this pops up…
