 * For those that use Flickr badge to pull photos onto your site know that it’s 
   an ugly javascript that breaks xhtml compliance. After much searching the closest
   solution I could find was here:
 * [http://www.benmetcalfe.com/blog/index.php/2004/12/25/my_blog_friendly_flickr_front_end_php_sc?blog=5&c=1&page=1&more=1&title=my_blog_friendly_flickr_front_end_php_sc&tb=1&pb=1&disp=single](http://www.benmetcalfe.com/blog/index.php/2004/12/25/my_blog_friendly_flickr_front_end_php_sc?blog=5&c=1&page=1&more=1&title=my_blog_friendly_flickr_front_end_php_sc&tb=1&pb=1&disp=single)
 * However it points to individual photos, unlike the javascript that points you
   back to flickr and on to the original photo page.
 * My question:
 * Could someone help me modify the above PHP script to mimic the javascript?
 * P.S. This would be a great plugin since many use flickr (caching would also be
   an interesting option to have since flickr has been having some issues from time
   to time)

 * I was going to mention this in a separate post – I still will – but my new plugin,
   called flickr-post, has a function defined in it which displays the N most recent
   thumbnails from your flickr photo stream.
 * [http://mcnicks.org/plugins/flickr-post/](http://mcnicks.org/plugins/flickr-post/)
 * Its not documented yet but all you do is:
 * <?php fp_get_recent( 5 ); ?>
 * Somewhere to display your five most recent thumbnails – I have it on the template
   for my web site’s front page.

 * PS: My url-cache plugin works with flickr-post to cache thumbnails locally … 
   this is all kind of beta right now, though.
