Description
A WordPress slideshow plugin fed from a SmugMug, Flickr, MobileMe, Picasa or Photobucket RSS feed and displayed using pure Javascript.
Blip does not hardcode what it finds into your blog. Instead the most recent images are loaded in real-time by the user’s web browser.
See it in live use at my wedding photography website.
Please note that Blip is not compatible with the Javascript framework Prototype. Please check for “prototype.js” in your webpage, included by your theme or other plugin, before contacting me for help.
Requires WordPress 2.7 and PHP 5.
