    Hi there,
    I have been posting in the services section of programming looking for someone, but nobody has messaged me. I have a simple blogging application is Ruby on Rails and want to use the Flickr API to display images based on user entered keywords. I have tried so many different options, gems, etc. and followed many tutorials but I just cannot get anything worked. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would greatly appreciate any advice. I am using Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 3.0.5 on a Mac.

    can you elaborate more on the mode of connectivity you've tried with Flickr?

    they do provide web services connectivity - so you should be able to hook up without using a gem.
