This post shows you how to embed your SlideShowPro for Lightroom slideshow into your WordPress blog using the Kimili plug-in and the “Kimili Flash Embed” button on the editor toolbar.

The Kimili plug-in is used to embed Flash objects. We’re going to use it to embed our slideshow.

Install the Plug-In

The first thing you need to do is to install Kimili. That’s pretty simple. You can get the plug-in by going to the “Add New” option in your Plugins panel. Just search for Kimili Flash Embed.

Create The Slideshow

Nothing special here. Create the slideshow however you want. It doesn’t matter. Go nuts. Just write down the final dimensions (add some to the height if you’re using the Wet Floor).

For this example, let’s assume that I’ve set my width to 500 and my height to 400. I’m using the Wet Floor, so I’m going to write down 500 for my height.

You may want to make considerations for you blog (colors, sizes, etc).

Upload the Slideshow

Upload the slideshow somewhere on your site. I prefer to keep all of my albums in a directory called /my_galleries.

• I’ve exported my slideshow to a local folder named gallery3
• I’ve uploaded my exported folder to my website so I now a folder called /my_galleries/gallery3
• To the outside world, my slideshow object is located at /my_galleries/gallery3/loader.swf (you can click on it and see it)
• Write that down

Create The Post With The Slideshow

• Create the post like normal using the Visual editor
• Get to the point where you want to put the slideshow
• Press the red button on your toolbar: 
• Press the “more” link in the “SWF definition” section
• Enter the following parameters:
  • Flash (.swf): Put the location of your slideshow (e.g. /my_galleries/gallery3/loader.swf)
  • Dimensions: Enter the dimensions you wrote down above
  • wmode: Select ‘transparent’
  • allowfullscreen: Select ‘true’
  • base: Enter a single period (.)
  • Everything else can be left as the defaults or modified for your needs
  • It should look something like this:
  • 
• Press the Generate button at the bottom of the Kimili form.
