WordPress Plugin: Crossroads

Today while checking some of the most recent plugins for WordPress, I cam across Crossroads by Duane Storey. The plugin integrates Flickr functionality to display images, from individual photos to complete sets.

While I’ve been linking to my Flickr galleries in my show write-ups, I’ll be trying out Crossroads to feature the full set from a show.

Crossroads utilizes a few different existing javascript image viewers, such as Lightbox and Highslide, and gives users the option to configure their preferred display engine.

I’ve dropped in a Crossroads gallery into my latest post on Mae’s set at the Pageant, so let me know what you think:

Below is an inline demonstration of the plugin featuring a set from my Flickr titled “Don’t Forget The Drummer.” Click on a thumbnail to view the image, go to the next or previous shots using the arrow keys, and click again to close the viewer.
