Vodpoding Flickr SlideShow Widget into WordPress.com – Part 2: Using Set function (Highly recommended way)

Just when I thought embedding Flickr Widget into seems somewhat involving and complicated, I came across burgeblog which has managed to embed Flickr Widget successfully. The author accomplishes it the easy and intuitive way through the use of Set function in Flickr. The best thing is that this method simply works. Using Set function allows one to modify the Set, and the change reflect in the widget immediately. This is a highly recommended way to embed Flickr widget into WordPress.com. Since it works flawlessly and easily, it will supersede my previous “complicated” post in Vodpoding Flickr Slideshow Widget into WordPress.com – Part 1 : Using Search function
