Walter Davis (4 January 2013) Feed2js

Walter Davis (2 October 2013) Flickrshow
This Action allows you to create an interactive, automatic slideshow from a Flickr end-point.

The Flickrshow JavaScript application is written and maintained by Ben Sekulowicz-Barclay. This Action is a thin wrapper around that application, and I encourage you to explore its many other options.
