Share your wedding with embeddable photo slideshows!
June 15, 2009
Since so many people have their own wedding websites, we at The Wedding Lens created a special photo slideshow “widget” that you can “embed” on practically any webpage. What does that mean? You get to have a slideshow of all your photos on your website … and it looks like this:
It’s easy to do:
- Go to your album and click on the “Share” tab and then the ”Embeddable Widgets” tab.
- Pick which size you want – narrow (160 pixels wide) or medium (300 pixels wide). Then copy the code. How? In most browsers, just clicking on the code will copy it otherwise, select all and then right click your mouse and then click the “Copy” option.
- Go to your website or blog and edit the page in HTML. Paste the code that you just copied from our site whereever you want it to show up on your page. If you’re using a blog, make sure you go into HTML edit mode to paste the code. We’ve found that the best place to put the widget is usually the front page or the sidebar.
Voila! You now have a slideshow of your photos from The Wedding Lens on your own site!
Things to know about the widgets:
- The widgets automatically update each evening with any changes to your photos for the lifetime of your album.
- You can have the photo slideshow widgets regardless of whether you have a free or premium photo album – so create an account today if you haven’t yet!
- If you don’t have any photos yet (’cause it’s before the wedding), the widget will show your album welcome image along with a wedding countdown timer.
- Because it’s an image, it works on almost all popular publishing sites (wordpress.com, blogspot.com, myspace.com, etc.).
