How to add Flickr banners onto sites like MySpace and Friendster

4 Replies

So you use Flickr and you built your cool Flickr badge, you’re all ready to show it off at your MySpace profile, only to find out that most of these sites don’t like JavaScript (nor iframes), mainly because whoever created these site didn’t really know what they were doing… Here’s a way to display some of your Flickr pics dynamically at these sites:

  • go to Organizr and tag some pictures with a unique tag, I use “slide.com”
  • if you don’t already have a Slide.com account, get one
  • view your Flickr pics by tags, and click on “slidecom”, (the direct URL will look like http://www.flickr.com/photos/your_name/tags/slidecom/), it should display a list of pics tagged with “slidecom”
  • near the bottom of the the page there should be an RSS feed link, copy the URL
  • go to http://www.slide.com/feed, paste in the URL you just copied
  • It will then generate the code you’d need to display these pics at your MySpace page

So, now when you tag your pics with “slide.com” at Flickr and they will show up at your Slide.com Flash photo banner, obviously, to remove pics just delete the tag. Unfortunately there is not an easy way to batch-remove tags at Flickr at this point.

Apple relaunching Back-To-School program

Last time it was $300 rebate when you purchase Mac and iPod together, but I guess iPods got cheaper…

Students who purchase one of the qualifying Macs — a MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, or Power Mac G5 — and also purchase an iPod, will receive a $179 mail-in-rebate on top of their education discount.Apple will encourage students to purchase a 2GB iPod nano along with their qualifying Mac because the $179 rebate will cancel out the cost of the player (also $179 for educational buyers.) Alternatively, students can choose to apply the value of the rebate towards any of the company’s other iPod models.

south bay photography meetup

Leave a reply

I’ve been a Meetup member for a long time but I have never been to any of the events until today. I recently joined the south bay photography meetup group and it is actually a very active group. They have at least one event per week. I went to this thing called PhotoSlam 2006, it was a pretty casual knowledge-sharing type event. There were members from the Foothill college photography club, a RangeFinder online message forum, and meetup members. People brought some cool toys, their portfolios, I displayed my portfolio on a projector (the color on the projector was actually calibrated quite well!), and pretty much just socialized and chatted about photography. I was in a hurry and accidentally brought my camera with the macro lens instead of my 24-70/2.8L, so only got some shots of the toys, here are the images:
