  I’m totally psyched with their slideshow. Anyone knows how?

  Alterntively, check your Media Settings in your Dashboard and make sure “Auto-Embed” is enabled.

  Take the URL from the address bar of your browser and drop it into your Post or Page on a separate line. If it is highlighted like a link, unlink it using the Unlink button in the Editor (looks like a broken link). Save or Update your post and the slide show should show up.

  @1tess

  Why does the link don’t present my username? It presents a random combination of words and numbers: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45780223@N06/sets/72157626697470077/

  @magicoficecream if you followed the instructions I posted above, this is what you will get:

  Make sure the address that appears in your browser address bar ends in /show/

  I have removed the above post linked to my demo blog as it referenced another person’s photos on flickr. If you wish to see a flickr slide show in action on my primary blog, you are welcome to view http://justjennifer.wordpress.com/2009/03/16/hula/
