Part IV: Scripting and (X)HTML
Figure 15-3: A Flickr photostream page.
If you look at the markup for that page, you’ll see that we customized some
of the HTML to fit the overall design for that page, and you can easily do likewise
for yourself. In our case, we created a div section with an id value of
“content” so that we could set up a background color and margin controls.
The real value of embedding Flickr on a page is that every time you upload a
new photo to Flickr into your photostream, it automatically displays in the
gallery on your new HTML page as well!
Creating a map
Another good example to illustrate the power of embedding content is a
simple map. Say that Ed is having a party, and he creates a Web site for
the party information and to give some of his out of town friends a map of
Austin, TX, in case they get lost. He can do something like what’s shown in
Figure 15-4 (also available at www.dummieshtml.com/examples/ch15/
map-image.html).
