the X factor –=Every Little Thing =–

found another way to do the flickr slideshow, which makes use of the flash slideshow provided by flickr. to embed it, need to use an iframe. here is an example:


<iframe align="center"
src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=34129008@N00&set_id=72157603538577777"
frameBorder="0" width="450" scrolling="no" height="450"></iframe>

• some other parameters available: “contacts=”, “text=”, “tag_mode=”, “favorites=”, “group_id=”, “frifam=”, “nsid=”, “single=”, “firstIndex=”, “set_id” and “firstId=”

here is how it looks like: Continue reading »

upgraded my blog to wordpress 2.5. there are quite a lot of new features in this new wordpress release. the admin interface also looks better and works better. great work!

take the opportunity to change the header image as well. it still goes for the colorful style — color pencils this time

original image is by Andrea@flickr on flickr.

amazingly there are huge collections of color pencils shots on flickr. it seems that ppl like to shoot their color pencils but have to say a lot of them are really nice photos. http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=all&q=color+pencil&m=text
