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:

1. Publish flash on WordPress via Gigya sharing widget

How to do it:

• create a banner, slideshow or playlist
• publish it
• click on “Embed code” (free or premium)

• fill the three-field form

Ready! Your flash banner/slideshow/playlist/etc has been automatically posted on your WordPress hosted blog in a new blog post. This method is easy, but can also be frustrating because you probably don’t want a blog post containing only the flash object. Besides, this method works only for services like ours, that support Gigya widgets. So that’s why you should try the second approach.

2.Publish *any* flash object using the Gigya-to-WordPress shortcode

WordPress accepts, among others, YouTube shortcodes. Likewise, it also accepts Gigya shortcodes (that’s how the approach no. 1 actually works). How to do it:

• If you’re using let’s say BannerSnack, download your banner to SWF file
• Host your SWF file somewhere (WordPress won’t allow you to upload SWF files to your media gallery). There are a lot of free file hosting websites
• Go to your blog admin and start editing an article. Instead of using the standard HTML embed code for your flash file, you’ll need to use the Gigya shortcode that looks like this (let’s say you have a 336x280px banner):

[gigya width="336" height="280" src="http://www.example.com/mybanner.swf" ]

This is the simplest code possible, but you can also add various parameters, like clickTag, wmode, bgcolor etc:

[gigya width="336" height="280" src="http://www.example.com/mybanner.swf?clickTag=http://www.example.com/targeturl.html" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="000000" ]

That’s it! You’ve managed to post flash content to your WordPress hosted blog. I’m as excited as you are!

The first “episode” is called SMILE. Hope you will like it.

2. Better workflow

This means that you’ll be able to make photo slideshows in less time. We’ve heard opinions, from our members and bloggers who wrote about us, that PhotoSnack is easy to use and intuitive. But we thought we could make it easier and, encouraged by our users, we found some simple solutions to do that.

Firstly you upload your photos, then choose a template and last, you publish the slideshow. Only 3 little steps.

3. New templates

Frame slide, Photo Glide, Vertical 3D Cube and Horizontal 3D Cube are the new good looking templates that could make your photos have greater impact. Hope you will like them.

4. Free and premium templates

We have now two categories of templates: free and premium. The first ones are simple and nice. We think they’ll match every blog, Facebook page or website. The premium templates have higher image quality and were made for professional photographers or web users that want to make a portfolio of their work.

5. Preview templates with your own photos

What you see is what you get , by this I mean that now you can see how your images will look in a specific template before choosing it. So you can try all the templates to find the one that matches your pictures.

We’d like to hear your feedback; feel free to write any question or thought on our feedback bar.

We are happy that PhotoSnack is seen as an easy to navigate and easy to use application. But I’d better let you see what’s their opinion about PhotoSnack:

Pros: The web interface is easy to navigate and use. Your photos live on PhotoSnack’s website, so there’s no need for web hosting or link pointing. Updating, changing, and reorganizing slideshows is a snap, and customizable embed codes ensure your presentation will fit snugly on your site.

Cons: While there are a few custom options, the presentation is fairly basic for free accounts, and the embeds contain links back to the main site. It is also worth noting that Flash is still not viewable on most mobile platforms and may leave a gaping hole for some users with outdated browser plug-ins.
