Embed a Flickr Slideshow in a WordPress Post

In a WordPress post, you can embed a Flickr slideshow of your images using the VodPod WordPress tool. It is so easy. Here’s my handout and screencast on how to do this on your blog. Willard Staff: VodPod is blocked by our school filter. You can access and use the WordPress tool, but when you view your blog post, it will look like there is nothing there, but there is!  If you view your post from another computer outside the District, your slideshow will be viewable.  So if you don’t see the slideshow below, you must be reading this post from a school station.

Flickr Widget for WordPress

I recently had a teacher ask how to set up the Flickr Widget on her WordPress.com blog to display the pictures from her class Valentine’s Day Party. The widget works well, as long as you paste in the correct web address. I’ve published a handout of screencaptures with directions, as well as recorded a screencast of these steps, that will lead you to that correct web address.

My next blog post will cover how to embed a slideshow of Flickr images in a blog post.

Learn How To Flickr

Willard Staff: If you were not able to participate in one of the Flickr workshops this month, or would rather learn on your own timetable, the Fusion: Flickr webpage offers handouts and short video tutorials (screencasts) to lead you through the steps.

If you want to earn 3 Salary Advancement Workshop hours, you can enroll in the free, online professional development, Moodle course: Flickr. This course uses the handouts and screencasts on the Fusion webpage. Work at your own pace, when it fits in your schedule, from any computer with Internet access. Just in time learning, at your convenience!

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or suggestions. I’m happy to provide you with additional assistance.
