Tonight I wanted to update my “Photography” page and I was able to figure out this amazing tool that Flickr provides.
Here are the steps that I took:
(screen shots with help from Skitch-an amazing tool)
1. First you sign into your Flickr account and then get to your Photostream main page. In the top right corner of the frontpage you click on “Slideshow”
2. This will launch the slideshow (a great way to show your pictures on a black screen). When you move your mouse over the screen, you will see the menu options. Click on “Share”
3. You can then either “Grab the embed HTML:” code or “Customize this HTML” I chose to customize because I wanted a larger frame for the purposes of my site.
4. This was the final stage where I chose “Super-Size” which is a ratio of 800 x 600. Then copy the code at the bottom of the page, and voila! you’re ready to embed to your slideshow.
i have changed the theme of natashalcd.com over 20 times in search for a perfect fit!
when i was almost ready to give up tonight, i came across a rad site called GraphPaperPress. right off the bat it looked like something i could relate to. funky, rad, new…it offered photo space, killer design, and customizable themes.
and get this – all for FREE
i’m currently working on the slideshow option for the opening page – it took me a while to discover why my uploads weren’t showing up. [thank goodness for View > Page Source ...{i needed to change my uploads to 'image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', etc...}]
