Pretty easy really, I just looked up the source from homey here. I am posting the slideshow from My Favorites sets, http://flickr.com/photos/kewlio/sets/1423041/. You essentially need two things

set id
Simply the numbers following sets/ in the url (here 1423041)

Flickr userid
A bit trickier, but if you look at someone's page, the userid is contained within its RSS or Atom feed. For my case, I go to http://flickr.com/photos/kewlio/, scroll to the bottom and the RSS feed is http://flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=51035580780@N01&format=rss_200, which makes my userid 51035580780@N01

Actually sets are unique on Flickr so you can actually get away with the set id only

You'll have to play around with the height depending on how many pics you got, 500 width seems to be the smallest value before it crops. It'd be cool to be able to input width for the applet to resize. 500 kinda messes the layout on my page. Anyway that's the gist, beautiful output below



I've read on FlickrHelp that slideshow views incremends set views but not individual pictures
