Adding a Flash gallery to your blog can really make your pages and posts pop. If you are a small or home based business a flash gallery can really step things up a notch and breathe life and visual interest to a page. They add a professional look and give blah pages pizzazz. You don’t have to be an expert programmer or know anything about Flash to create a slick Flash slideshow - here’s how.


Adding Flash Slide Show Gallery To Your Blog

Creating a Flash slide show gallery and then embedding into your WordPress blog is easier than you think. You need two tools to do it quickly and easily. A Slideshow gallery creator that outputs your gallery into a .swf file and the Wordpress plugin, Kimili Flash Embed for Wordpress. There are other ways to do it but I found this the simplest and fastest way and it requires very little skill or programming knowledge to get great effect.


Responsible Use of Flash on Your Site

I am by no means encouraging users to cram Flash into and all over their site. I am quite shocked I am even traveling down this path after dealing with several sites in the the last couples of years that were and SEO nightmare- compiled almost entire of Flash. Do not go crazy with Flash on your blog- it does look cool and it might be tempting. If you are going to use a slideshow gallery and embed into your posts or pages pages- make sure you are also using good titles ( post tiles that use keywords) and have some content in the post i.e. viewable text that will “support” your gallery.
I personally would avoid putting a flash banner in your header , footer or sidebar and do not recommend doing so.. Don’t even think about a splash page made of Flash.
If you are interested in extensive use of flash or want to optimize your existing Flash, Jonathan Hochman wrote an excellent article, How to SEO Flash that i suggest you read.


Where CAN I Use Flash on My Blog Then?or Let Your Blog Wear the Flash not Flash Wear the Blog ?

Use your flash slideshows with discretion. Accent your blog and don’t make it integral part of your blog. I use them as part of a post or a page. They are eye-catching and often beautiful. From an SEO point of view they should compliment a post and not BE the post .




How To Create Your Flash Slideshow

You need to output your flash in .swf format. If your application creates a simple .swf file and you are happy with results then go ahead and use it. . More complicated flash galleries with thumbnails and transition effects will also output .xml html and other files you will need.
