Host your photos, images, mp3 files and more with the new Divshare Wordpress Plugin

Today I decided it was time to find another site to host images other than photos. I currently use Flickr for photos and haven’t been happy about diluting my account with screenshots and other non-photo images to display on my site. One of the big reasons I chose Flickr was due to the great Wordpress plugins available for it.

I hadn’t heard of them but since it was exactly what I was looking for I decided to give it a try.

It also supports the automattic widget plugin. The latest version which I am running actually has its own included widget functionality which in my mind is better than the automattic version.
