Always Learning

Sometimes we have a need to show images, perhaps in a slideshow you say. Well here is one way to do it using Flickr. Once you have some photos uploaded, use the organizer and drag a bunch of photos in to the window to create a new set. Then get back to your photostream, and double click on the set you just created. You should then see a link to view as a slideshow. You can then copy the url that appears in your browser when the slideshow is up, and insert this wherever you want the link to the slide show. And remember, that tricky target="blank" thing in the href element, it will force the browser to open the link in a new window. Your html would look like this:

a href="http://url........" target="blank"



here is a link to an example slideshow
