Well, I’ve been asked by a few people about managing to have a scrolling Photo-Log, like on my sidebar. So… I decided to make a tutorial for you people.
First things first. You need to register at Flickr.com
And now, follow this brief tutorial to get a scrolling Photo-Log.
1. Make sure you are logged in.
2. After that, go to your Photo Stream.
3. Then, look for this link, on the lower right-hand side of your Flickr sidebar. Click it.
4. Configure your Photo-Stream the way you like it.
5. Get the code
6. Copy the code.
7. Then, you’ll have to do the following thing: You will need to wrap the code inside a div and a marquee tag:
<div style=”height: 300px; overflow: hidden;”><marquee direction=”up” scrollamount=”2″ scrolldelay=”25″ onmouseover=”this.stop();” onmouseout=”this.start();”>
<Your Flickr Code Goes Here>
</marquee></div>
Very cool!!
I saw your note in flickr forums about the scrolling photo-log. I found it after reading your first flickr post about blogging. I just edited the post I wrote yesterday about this entry and posted it.
Nice job with the scrolling stuff. Yesterday loading was fast, but today was slower even with broadband. I guess that is the limit to adding fun stuff to a blog. Stop in at The Demo Blog and say hi in the guestbook if you want. If you write more tutorials let us know.
cheers.
