Yesterday, my creative brain wheels started turning and thought, “Hey, how cool would it be to add a new page just for my Diabetes 365 pictures? That way people can see them when they go to my blog if they want to, without it taking up a lot of space in the sidebar!”. Well, I didn’t realize this was going to be the challenge it was just for the simplest answer there was to fix it.
Every time I would search for something to do to add the pictures to WordPress, of course the search engine would automatically pull up posts related to WordPress.org, not WordPress.com… two different platforms. The most I got into with making this web page was a good theme and a little bit of css editing. I am not good at all with HTML, so if I got into the WP.org stuff, I would be lost from day one!
Anyway, long story short, WordPress.com doesn’t allow certain embed codes, so most of the posts and programs that would generate a code for you, didn’t work. But I did run across one post by Gavin Wray of how to post a flickr slideshow via Vodpod, which can be found here. After trying over and over again to get the other codes to work, I was skeptical, but I tried it anyway.
Lo and behold, it works! So, all you have to do now to see my pictures is click on the new page link at the top. See?
Of course, you can always just go to my flickr D365 photoset page if you’d like!
Ok, that’s all for now.
