OK, I was messing with some of the widgets on Facebook (See my profile) and was able to upload pix from iPhoto to a Facebook photo album and using the “slide show” widget add a - flash-ified show of photos to my profile page.
Pretty cool, but why stop there.
I noticed that the widget is from our friends slide and after tinkering around - I found that it generated an external URL that I could use to share the same slideshow beyond Facebook.
Snazzy, huh?
If you click on the menu to the slide show you’ll find the link to it hosted on Slide.:

Notice that it generates an embed code. Note also - you don’t need Flash or any special expertise beyond “cut’ and ‘paste.’
Voila! A slide show embedded in the blog. So, now I can easily share photos from recent travels with my ‘F-book pals’ and the blogosphere using only one photo edit.
