WordCamp Whistler – John Biehler on how to “sex up” your blog with photos
John Biehler is describing how to integrate photos and video differently from other plugins. The first one I could capture is FAlbum – you have to get a Flickr authorization that allows you to create a page and you can set the page – pulls in the Flickr content (your photo-stream) – for a link to John’s demo site click here.
John describes some of the various settings of the plugin. Videos don’t work on FAlbum, sadly. But luckily for us, he is going to give us other tips that will allow us to embed videos and create playlists and stuff.
pb-embedFlash – another great plugin – allows you to create playlists of videos and you can skin it in such a way and customize it so that the playlist works exactly the way you want it.
Finally, John talks about Vimeo-Embed – the nice thing about this plugin is that it looks complicated but it really is a very easy mechanism. I can totally see how my and Tris‘ guest video-review of Carmen’s dress rehearsal for Sexy in VanCity could have enhanced if I had installed this plugin beforehand.
