Ebby & Buñ Slideshow

Created using flickrSLiDR

I figured it was high time I embeded a slideshow featuring the best picts of my two favorite kitties. The slideshow app has some cool features in it - you can control the speed of the show and if you click on one of the picts, it displays title and description info. Nice!

Incidentally, fellow Flickrers, I discovered two really cool website tools to make life better for us Flickr users. The slideshow above was created using flickrSLiDR, which is pretty basic as slideshows go - this just mirrors the same layout as the flash-based slideshows you can access within the Flickr page, but using this service allows you to embed the slideshow into your blog or web page by copying some HTML that flickrSLiDR generates. The second website (and incredibly helpful tool) is Picnik.com. Using a flash app within the website, you are able to make adjustments to the photos on your flickr account - all online. This is great for doing basic color adjustments or cropping, but they also have some fun features like effects, text bubbles, and different borders and frames. They have a "premium" service which they charge for, but all the basic editing tools (which is all you're really gonna need if you're taking decent picts in the first place) are totally FREE. Handy if you've uploaded something in haste only to realize that it needs a bit of work after the fact.
