Add a flickr slideshow or photo to your wedding website

Add a flickr slideshow

A flickr slideshow on my Glösite

I’ve written before about adding a Picasa slideshow to your Glö wedding website, but I know that lots of you also use flickr to store all of your fabulous photos. We don’t like anyone to feel left out, so here’s a similar tutorial on how to add a flickr slideshow to your Glösite.

This “how to” will focus on adding a slideshow of a particular album I have on flickr, but the same principle applies to adding a slideshow of your photostream or an individual photo.

 

1) Go to your flickr account and on your photostream, set or album you’d like to add, click on an individual photo. 

2) Click on the three dots in the bottom-right corner and choose “View Slideshow” from the pop-up menu

3) This takes you to a black page with your slideshow or photo in the middle. Click on “Share” in the top-right corner of this page

Click share
4) You can either select the code from the “Grab HTML code” box or else you can click on “customize HTML code” below to change the size of your slideshow

5) Go back to glosite.com and navigate to the “edit” page for the page on your wedding website where you’d like to add the slideshow (Manage Glösite > Manage Pages > edit)
Scroll down to the widget box at the bottom of the page and paste in the code, or else you can use the HTML button on the text editor to add the slideshow to the middle of your page

How to add funky slideshows to your wedding website

UPDATE: Unfortunately, slide.com is no longer available for use. However Kizoa appears to be a good alternative.

Everyone loves photos. But if you’re going to add photos to you wedding website, why not have a bit of fun with it? If your wedding website allows you to add widgets or custom HTML it’s easy to embed fun and funky slideshows (like the one below) directly into your site.

To make your slideshow - Slide.com is a great place to start – it’s easy to use and it’s free! Using Slide – you can add photos and then customize the show’s style, skin, music, & effects to make it snazzy. Once you’re finished designing your show, click save and you’ll move on to the ‘Share slide show’ page. On the left side of the page, select Hi5 or Blogger to access the HTML code for your slide show. Copy the code, flip over to your wedding website editor, and paste the code into the widget or custom HTML box of the page where you want it to appear (on Glosite.com, you’ll find a widget box at the bottom of each “edit page.’) That’s it!

Have fun with your show — mix it up a bit (maybe think twice before adding 50 shots of you and the fiance looking perfectly perfect!) Remember, the more personal it is the more fun it will be for your friends and family to view.
