Comments on: embedded flickr slideshows http://www.walkingpaper.org/271 A library design consultancy, shop and blog by Aaron Schmidt Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marissa http://www.walkingpaper.org/271/comment-page-1#comment-327 Marissa Fri, 03 Feb 2006 19:18:29 +0000 http://walkingpaper.org/?p=271#comment-327 Aaron, thanks so much for linking this tool! What a fabu idea, and easy to pop into our code! We're doing a big furniture overhaul, and I included a slideshow of the "first wave" of installation on our library website (http://www.apl.lib.in.us/furniture.html). Very cool - will definitely use in the future for meeting rooms, instruction, local history resources and more. Thanks! Aaron, thanks so much for linking this tool!

I'm sure you saw it is an iframe, maybe that has something to do with it. I dunno. I’m sure you saw it is an iframe, maybe that has something to do with it.

Is there something about the way the flash works that you have to load the page it's in to get the slideshow to start? Curious. Neat tool!
