It’s time for a new episode on “Tuesday is for photos”. Now I didn’t pick a theme as I usually do, but a photographer that draw my attention. I found Dan (aka Durango99) this morning on Flickr and I just had to share his amazing photos with you. The colors are incredible and they create such a great warm feeling … Mesmerizing, that’s the word to describe what came out of his hands.

If you’d like to see more photos of Dan click here. Believe me you’ll wander around for a while … I sure got lost browsing his images.

I used Simple fade as my template (it is a premium template) and 500 x 400px size, perfect for this blog.

Enjoy!

A slideshow in scarlet

Hi and welcome to a new week here on SnackTools Blog. How was your weekend? I had a great one. And now I’m back with a new photo slideshow. I won’t tell you details about it or why I picked this theme, just let you enjoy it and share it if you’d like.

I used Pixelate Wipe as my template (it is a premium template) and the same size I use with every slideshow I post on this blog 500 x 400px.

Wish you a beautiful day!

How to embed flash content in WordPress blogs

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

It’s known that WordPress won’t allow users to post flash content on their platform, unless they host their blogs elsewhere. However, there are a few exceptions; WordPress allows you to post *some* flash content, things like YouTube or DailyMotion videos.

What I’ve discovered is that WordPress allows you to post many other kinds of flash content on your blog.wordpress.com blog, including SnackTools widgets like banners and music playlists. You only need Gigya.

Now, there are two approaches, both very simple:
