Fotopedia Slideshow widget

September 28th, 2009

Fotopedia.com is a photo hosting service with a downloadable app (Windows & Mac) that allows you to create a customizable slideshow widget that you can embed into your blog or website.

Excerpt from freshtilledsoil.com

How to Get Started

1. Sign-up at Fotopedia.com
2. Download the application, Windows or Mac.
3. Create a gallery. On a mac this process was simple, all I had to do was drag and drop my photos from iPhoto.
4. Use the Actions menu to create a new Widget. You’ll be redirected to Fotopedia.com where you can customize your options.
5. Copy and paste the HTML snippet provided to your website and your done.

Rumor is that you can hook your flickr account to fotopedia and display your flickr sets in the fotopedia widget as well.

I love integration!
