How to embed a Flickr slideshow in your blog

Flickr slideshowThere's a lot of ways to get your Flickr photos onto a web page or blog post, but few are as clean and elegant as Flickr's own slideshow player. Wouldn't it be nice if you could embed that player in your blog? Ah, but of course you can! Paul Stamatiou shows you how, but since the HTML got a little mangled in his post I'll just repost it here. Here's the basics:

<iframe align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?
user_id=12345678@N00&tags=YOUR_TAGS" frameBorder="0" "width=500" height="500
" scrolling="no"></iframe>

That's the basics, but the line breaks are only in there for presentation--make sure that long "src" URL doesn't have any spaces or line breaks when you use the code. You'll have to replace the user_id ("12345678@N00") with your own--in case you don't know what yours is, idGettr will tell you--and YOUR_TAGS with whatever tags you want in the slideshow. If you want to show a photoset instead of photos with a particular tag, replace tags=YOUR_TAG with photoset_id=PHOTOSET_ID, where photoset_ID is the string of numbers at the end of a photoset URL, e.g. the 1234567 in flickr.com/photos/username/sets/1234567/. There's a variety of other parameters you can use, including:

  • contacts=
  • text=
  • tag_mode=
  • favorites=
  • group_id=
  • frifam=
  • nsid=
  • single=
  • firstIndex=
  • set_id=
  • firstId=

...but it's up to you to figure out what they do. Just make sure you have an & between each parameter/value pair. Once again, this is all the work of Paul Stamatiou, so if you find this useful head over to his web site and click on his ads.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
