Using Flickr with Drupal

Drupal 5.5. on Debian etch.

I am trying to use Drupal for a family site. At first, I thought that using Drupal's Flicker integration would be a great way to share photo.

But it seems that most of the Flickr modules are broken. And the ones that do work seem to be too difficult to use.

For example, being able to insert a flickr image seemed great. Until I found out that to do so, required putting something like this in the content: [flickr-photoset:id=72157594262419167,size=m].

No way in this world is that going to make sense to my 70 year old mother.

As far as I tell, there is no way to for people to add photo to the flickr gallery from drupal.

Should I give up on flickr integration, or am I missing something?

I see you are sill running an insecure build of drupal ie: 5.5?
You do understand that if you don't upgrade you are susceptible to having your site hacked and left in an unrepairable state? Thus risking all the hard work you've been investing?

beyond that you are being a bad neighbor to others on your shared host by running insecure software.

lack of security aside, thats how the flicker module works.

Been having a rough time getting good Flickr and drupal integration.
