Photobucket

You may have noticed a new widget-thing on the blog's sidebar: an animated photo montage (I put a larger one on my website).

I generated it using Photobucket, and the process couldn't  be much easier. You upload a bunch of pictures to their site, then you choose a slideshow and size you want. Voila. Instant cool-looking slideshow.

The site makes it easy to email the slideshow to friends, post it on Facebook, or generate HTML code so you can plug it into your blog or website.

If you're looking for a nifty plug-in, give it a try!
