Scripts and Tricks

Recently, I was desperately looking for an elegant solution for displaying Flickr photos on a web site. Using the RSS feed supplied by Flickr just didn’t do justice for the images I wanted to display. So I searched and searched…

My initial searches found a wide selection of javascripts to display the photos. Some required a good bit of knowledge about javascript to make modifications for my own needs. Others required uploading javascripts and then embedding code into each page where the images were to display.

And then, I found Pictobrowser. It is a script that was easy to cut/paste into the page and easy to modify to work with my Flickr account. Pictobrowser’s script also allows for some customization if you want to play with background colors, image resizing, and more. You can find directions for Pictobrowser at http://pictobrowser.com/.

Is there a script that has made your life easier? Please share it in the comments.

This is brilliant! Now all those photo-petitions can be integrated into organizational sites. Thanks Jenn.
