17 Blogumus for your Flickr Photos!
March 12, 2009 /


Roy Tanck's Flickr Widget requires Flash Player 9 or better.

Get this widget at roytanck.com
If you enjoyed using Blogumus - the animated flash-based widget to display your blog labels - then I'm sure you'll love Roy Tanck's latest widget creation: an animated, cloud style Flickr widget! You can see an example of this in action on the left which uses my Flickr Photostream.

Roy's widget is very easy to customize and add to your blog. Simply visit the Flickr Widget page and use the form to add your Flickr photostream feed URL, then choose the dimensions and background color for your widget.

Once you're done, press the "Generate code snippet" button to be presented with a preview of your widget and the code. You can then paste this code into an HTML/JavaScript widget in your sidebar, or even directly into a blog post (as I have done here).

Roy Tanck created the original WP-Cumulus widget upon which my Blogumus widget is based. He has done a fantastic job in creating this widget. It uses a much smaller file size than the Blogumus/WP-Cumulus widget and doesn't hog nearly as much of your computer memory!

I hope you enjoy using this widget to enhance your own Blogger powered blogs! Let us know what you think about Roy's Flickr widget by leaving your comments below.

Thanks for the feedback so far. It inspired me to include Picasa support. I have a working prototype, and will try to release it tonight.

I was only looking for a cheap little photo feed for my blog and I found this little diamond! Thanks for making it available. I have to work on sprucing up the other elements now so it doesn't look too out of place ;0)

Works with picasa too, just replate feed url in "param value="feed=" to your feed from picassa.

it didn't show up on my blog using IE. I have IE7 and had adobe flash player 10 installed in the browser but the widget doesn't show any photos even after refreshing the page. It shows up nicely using firefox 3 though. any ideas?

to answer to Vasiliy Efimenko , you can use this widget to Picasa too! Simply use the feed URL you can find in Picasa album. And it works !

Hey - great widget - don't suppose this can be used to display the photos from all (or some) of your blog posts can it? And then link through to the relevant post? (A little like the brilliant original blogumus but using pics instead!
