FeedRepeat Setup for Flickr

You can have FeedRepeat generate a feed with a random image from your stream, or photoset. Just find the page on flickr that you want to select images from, either your main stream or a photo set page, scroll to the bottom and click on the RSS Feed link. You can also reference this feed information page on Flickr.

Append this parameter to the end, to convert the feed from Flickr default to RSS2 FeedRepeat compatible format:

&format=rss_200

Copy and paste the entire URL and register it with FeedRepeat. Follow the step by steps to post to social networks.

Tip: Using RSS Graffiti on Facebook, a thumbnail will be posted to your wall, as well as the image name and link back to Flickr. Make sure you update your Flickr meta data (description, titles, etc) on the set or group of photos you will be generating a feed for. If you don’t the default image names will be displayed (IMG_1234) which don’t look friendly to human eyes.
