At Magnify.net, founder Steve Rosenbaum has created a live Flickr stream of Inauguration events & photos. The photo gallery will constantly change over the coming days as Flickr users upload images tagged with the word “inauguration.” You can grab the embed code and place the Flash player on your own blog and resize it; I kicked it up to 600 pixels wide. Interesting that short video clips also play.
It’s easy to do. At the top of a set or tags page in Flickr, click “Create Slideshow,” then “Share,” grab the embed code, and change the width and height (you may need to do a litle high school math) to the dimensions you prefer. Paste the code into your blog and, voila! Steve adds: “The code can be modified to search either your stream or search for public tags.”
