Embedded Flickr Slideshows

Dig those flash Flickr slideshows? All that’s needed is a bit of code to embed them within your website to give your readers something dynamic.

<iframe align=center src=http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=12345678@N00&tags=foo frameBorder=0 width=500 scrolling=no height=500></iframe>

Alternatively, you may opt to use standards compliant embed code, although I have heard it does not work as widely as the iframe solution does.

<object type="text/html" data="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=12345678@N00&tags=foo" width="500" height="500"> </object>

Place this somewhere on your website or within a blog post. Change user_id from 12345678@N00 to your flickr id, which you can find out with this url:

Also replace foo with the tags of the photos you wish to display.

Other parameters include the following:

contacts=
text=
tag_mode=
favorites=
group_id=
frifam=
nsid=
single=
firstIndex=
set_id= (there’s a numeric tag – not the text name)
firstId=

If you want to use one of these extra parameters just add it after your user_id with a separating ampersand (&). And for those wondering, there is no way to adjust the size of the flash slideshow as it is fixed in size and hosted on flickr.
