Twango!
This is a really cool...and extremely easy...photo tool. I first learned about Twango from some dialog on a DL regarding flexibility in posting images to one's blog. Karin Meier mentioned her experience with Twango so I figured I'd give it a try. It is in fact as easy as Karin says. I was looking for something to use for both professional and personal reasons and this really seems to do the trick. To get it posted on this blog (powered by Community Server) I got this ticker of miscellaneous photos of the family and the beautiful scenery in the NW...
...by pasting <embed src="http://www.twango.com/tools/twidgets/ticker.swf?feed=Soni.family" width="500" height="100" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> into the HTML view.
I'm looking with some blog hosts so we can play around with a more personal "family blog" but it seems now all hosts will accept this code, i.e. Wordpress, Live Spaces, etc. Could be I just didn't dig deep enough or end up in the right corner of their editing tools. I'll keep trying.
Nonetheless...I love this tool.
