By now you’ve probably heard about Flock, the new Firefox-based browser that has a bunch of social-networking & blog-enabling features. Probably the most visually sexy feature currently available in Flock is the ability to see a bar of your Flickr photos that are available to be inserted as you are writing a blog entry. If you’re a WordPress user, you might be interested in a new plug-in called
WordPress Flickr Post Bar. Once installed and configured (which amounts to telling it which Flickr account to look at), you will be presented with a bar along the bottom of the composition window in WordPress. It was recently updated to load the photos in an iFrame, so that any delay in loading the photos does not delay the loading of the rest of the compose window. WordPress is like Firefox for blogging, elegant and efficient, easy to use and powerful. But in both cases the true power is in their extensibility, Firefox with extensions and WordPress with plug-ins. This WordPress plug-in is a keeper.

In firefox extensions have a ridiculously high tendency to stop working, or just mess up the browser whenever there is a version update. Does this also happen in wordpress?

WordPress doesn't advance nearly as fast in development as Firefox does, so the liklihood of running into a problem like that is much more rare. As with anything, when the version changes, there is a potential for incompatibilities to occur. But my experience with WordPress has been quite good in this regard.
