  I want to create a slide show on by blog using photos contained in a set in my Flickr account.
  I grabbed the url from my flicker slideshow and pasted it into a new post on my website. When I preview the changes, I see the post as a url that links to my flickr account rather than the first image of my slide show. I produced the same affect with the embedded html from the flickr site.
  Can this be changed so that the first slide of the slideshow is visible rather than the url?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I have attempted this many of times but never succeeded.

  The only way around it was to register for a vodpod.com account which allows you to post and embed from near enough any website including the Flickr slideshows.

  Check out on my blog to see it in action! Right at the bottom!

  Enjoy.

  Hello there,

  I use the code from my flickr set and it brings the slideshow to my wordpress post.
  The only thing I do not like is the black background.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to customize this through wp.com or flickr?

  Knock me over with a feather. That flickr slideshow uses an iframe, which shouldn’t be possible!
