    Not working on initial install

    It was brought to my attention that this doesn't work on an initial install.  Yikes!

    After testing on my own runway install I realized that you must get a Flickr API key for your domain for it to work properly. 

    You apply for new keys and manage your keys from the Your Keys section of the Flickr Services Web site at http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys.

    That said, I'm working on a version 1.1 to help with that process (config file) and to add some macro parameters to help with the first time user experience.

    OK, the Flickr.Net config file is not setup properly on install in this current version.

    To do this until the update add this to your web.config:

    <configuration>
      <
    configSections>
        <
    section name="flickrNet" type="FlickrNet.FlickrConfigurationManager,FlickrNet"
    allowLocation="true" />

    ...
      </
    configSections>

      <
    flickrNet apiKey="yourFlickrAPIKeyGoesHere" secret="yourSecretGoesHere"
    cacheDisabled="true" >
      </
    flickrNet>

    ...

    <configuration>


    If you want to use caching, then change to something like this:

      <flickrNet apiKey="yourFlickrAPIKeyGoesHere" secret="yourSecretGoesHere" 
    cacheLocation="C:\\YOURWEBSITE\\App_Data" cacheSize="26240000" cacheTimeout="1:00:00" >
      </
    flickrNet>

    I've never really done a codeplex project, but I'm open to it.  I'll see what I can get setup when I get some time.
