Do you want to add that super cool Flickr Slideshow to your blog. While Flickr itself doesn’t have any slideshow tool that you can embed in your blog.

• 123Flickr

123Flickr is a gallery creating utility that generates code for you to insert a cute Flickr gallery in your website. It is available at 123Flickr.com. It is not restricted to your own pictures, and you can create galleries from any Flickr picture set or Flickr user you have an interest in. It does not work (yet) with Flickr collections.

First, you will have to find a user or a picture set that you like in Flickr. Let’s take our Countries in Colors Flickr account as an example. You simply copy the name of the user (in our case countries in colors) and paste it into the username dialog that appears on the first page at 123Flickr.

Second you determine the number of pictures that should appear in your gallery. Be mindful not to add too many images as this slows down loading when you will access your page.

Look at the demo below :

• Slideflickr

Slideflickr touts that it “will help you create and embed Flickr slideshows in less than 10 seconds”. Simply type in a username, user, group, or a set URL on Slideflickr’s homepage, hit enter, and you receive a url to copy and paste on your website. When entering the “countries in colors” username, the result looks like this:

The standard size of the slideshow window is a 500 by 500 pixels square, but you can easily customize this by modifying the simple code you pasted by for example reducing it to 400 by 400 as I did in the above example. Better still, you can click on the “advanced options” tab and customize the appearance of your slideshow in various ways: window size, customize text messages, background color, speed, enter a custom logo text and url link, or even add a background music.

But Slideflickr’s versatility does not end there: you can also select the content of your slideshow by set, tags or favorites. The only downside of Slideflickr is that it is but a nice interface to Flickr’s standard slideshow. It does not create any new slideshow template or transitions.
