Have a bunch of photos that you'd like to post on your site in crisp slideshow form? If you use flickr, this is now very easy to do using the flickrSLiDR. It's a one page site meant to make embedding flickr slideshows into your site or blog as easy as possible. All that's needed is the flickr URL address of the user, photo set, or group you want to use. If you want to specify certain photos within a group, type in the specific tags from the group or user. You can also choose the size of your slideshow, as well as a couple other options. So if you have pictures from flickr you'd like to post to your site, it couldn't get easier than using flickrSLiDR. In their own words: "The next time you want to post a flickr slideshow on your website, just head over to flickrSLiDR and provide it with the URL of the flickr photostream, photoset or group that contains the pictures to put in a slideshow. For photostreams and groups, you can specify tags or a full text query to fine tune the type of pictures to be displayed in the slideshow. You can also specify the dimensions of the slideshow." Why it might be a killer: He had posted some info on how to make a slideshow from flickr before and it received over 200 comments and a lot of traffic, so obviously there is a desire by flickr users for this tool. It's really easy to use so that anyone can set up a slideshow within seconds. Some questions: Will there be more customization possibilities added for the slideshows? Will people use this site to make their slideshows, or turn to one of the many other slideshow specific sites out there that have a bit more flare?
