Thoughts on WordPress » Flickr http://wp.michaelwalsh.org Stuff of interest to me for WordPress developers Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:13:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Flickr-Gallery Plugin – good stuff! http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/11/22/flickr-gallery-plugin-good-stuff/ http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/11/22/flickr-gallery-plugin-good-stuff/#comments Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:58:44 +0000 Mike http://wp.michaelwalsh.org/2009/11/22/flickr-gallery-plugin-good-stuff/ I use Flickr to host my photos and I’ve always wanted a better way to present them on WordPress blogs and this weekend I think I found it.  Flickr-Gallery is a great plugin.  It is easy to set up and use and it integrates well with my theme.  It has a nice selection of short code options.

The only thing I use which is missing is the ability to link or preferably, display, a slide show.  I shoot a lot of pictures of our kids activities (skateboarding, soccer, basketball, swim team, etc.) and sharing them as a Flickr slide show is something I do frequently.

I found a solution to the missing slide show by using the Light Window plugin in conjunction with the Flickr URL for the slide show I am interested in presenting.
