Add Flickr photostream/slideshow widget to Blogger

This tutorial will show you how to make a Flickr slideshow/photostream. It will use Blogger slideshow gadget as a base. The slideshow will display 20 of your most recent Flickr photos.

The widget makes use of your Flickr photostream feed URL, so your first step is to find that URL.
