Everybody uses flickr. Now you can embed a flickr slide show into any web page. Code and instructions included.


Flickr rocks. You already have a ton of pictures there. Why not show your flickr photos as a slide show on your web site or blog? It is very easy.

The hardest part of the process is figuring out your flickr user id number.

I like Chicago Eye’s work so I have used him for an example. To figure out your user_id, just look in your RSS feed. Log onto flickr and scroll to the bottom of one of your picture pages. You should see something like the following:

    Feeds for ChicagoEye’s photostream Available as RSS 2.0 and Atom

When you mouse over the RSS links on your page, you’ll be able to see your user id.

http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=70267247@N00&format=rss_200

Replace user_id=70267247@N00 with your user id.

Here is the code:

Here is the results:

  • thanks for the excellent guidance on how to get a slide show in his blog flick profile
  • This is a neat firefox extension for flickr. It's called Multi Group sender and it allows you to add pictures to multiple groups all at once, instead of having to add your picture to each group manually: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1543
