Embedded Slideshow



This morning, Lifehacker had a post on embedding a slideshow of flickr photos in a blog post using a service call 123Flickr. The service was very easy to use. You provide the site with your flickr user name, tell it how many photos you would like in your slideshow, and it give you some code to insert in your blog post. I'll insert their code below and see how it works. Let me know if it has trouble loading, and I'll delete the code and let you know (I asked it to use all 35 photos in my VA2WA journey set).

Update: I added the HTML code to the bottom of the post and nothing showed in preview mode. I moved it to the top and it showed up in preview. I'll post and see what happens.

Another update: Well, it's not what I'd call a slideshow, but it's still an interesting presentation. My main issue is that it shows the latest (i.e., last) photo at the top, and the first photo at the bottom. I wished I know how to make it do the reverse.
