A friend of mine developed a brilliant new WordPress Plug-in called Slickr Flickr. Catchy name and useful too. Here is an abbreviated run down on how to use this plugin:

The Flickr show is inserted into a post or a widget using the slickr-flickr short code

For example to show my pictures from Flickr that have been tagged with "bahamas" I would use : [slickr-flickr tag="bahamas"]

The Slickr Flickr Attributes (Parameters) are

* tag – identifies what photos to display
* id – the Flickr ID of the user
* group – set to 'y' if the Flickr id belongs to a group and not a user (default is n)
* items – maximum number photos to display in the gallery or slideshow (default is 20)
* type – gallery or slideshow (default is gallery)
* orientation – landscape or portrait (default is landscape)
* size – small, medium, large or original (default is medium) – for best results only use large or originals with galleries
* captions – whether captions are on or off (default is on)
* delay – delay in seconds between each image in the slide show (default is 5)
* start – number of the first slide or 'random' for a random start (default is 1)

Try it and let me know what you think and if you would like more information on this new WordPress plugin please visit my friends, Russell and Liz Jamieson, the WordPress experts.

Once in a lifetime you run across an internet marketer that truly over delivers in every aspect of the services that they claim to offer. Today, I have to shout out to 2 individuals that have gone about and beyond the normal standards of excellence that most people perceive to be "great service.
Elizabeth and Russel Jamieson, of Power Blog Service, whose motto is,

Brilliant Business Websites Powered by Wordpress

are actually better than brilliant. I hired Elizabeth to to some consulting work for me, as my main money site has recently took a plummet in the Google rankings around the first of August 2009.

Knowing quite well that Elizabeth has a keen eye for detail and standards that go beyond perfection, I just knew she was the one I needed. I was correct. What I received was a detailed analysis with very specific action items to keep me on track. I was amazed. My husband and business partner was thrilled. My son, also an internet marketer, was astounded.

This post is shorter than I would like for it to be, because I have a lot of work to do. In the South, we call it fixin'! But I had to give a shout out to the consultants at Power Blog Service today, because they have saved my…well you know…my business. (What did you think I was going to say?!) My blog is "G" rated!

I think their business is appropriately named with the word POWER and SERVICE and of course they are Blog experts. If you are not currently using their services, you have MY personal guarantee that you will be satisfied. It is what I would like to call a no-brainer. Just so you'll know, I hardly ever give personal recommendations at this level but like I said…once in a lifetime you find an internet marketing service that truly over delivers.
