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

There probably some other ways of embedding the widget, which unfortunately one need to explore and experiment different approaches and see what’s working. It seems so far using Set function is the  best workable way I experience.

Thank Vodpod for this great feature.

In the past, several cumbersome steps are required to obtain the Embed Code as highlighted in https://geekycoder.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/laymans-guide-to-embedding-flickr-slideshow-into-wordpresscom/.

Turning off Virus-Scanning in Word 2007

 

Note: This article is only applicable to those who have installed certain popular malware/anti-virus system, and are frustrated having to wait for Word 2007 to perform virus-scanning prior to open document file.

Yes, it can overwhelming frustrating and impatient to watch and wait for MS Word 2007 to virus-scan any open document. It is even more so when one is accessing frequently used document that is unlikely to be infected. The scanning waiting time is directly proportional to the size of the document and hence, opening many large documents can feel very intrusive and inefficient in the long run.
