Three cheers for three wordpress.com bloggers!
The scenario
Trevor expressed his disappointment in the wp.com forums – he wanted to use cooliris in his wordpress.com blog and there seemed to be no way to do so.
hallluke offers a way to add it in a wordpress.com blog.
Panos is the genius that originally figured out the solution provided by Hallluke.
And just look how cool cooliris is!
Amazing isn’t it? Especially considering the fact that there was no way to have it in a wordpress.com blog until very recently.
So, if you want to showcase your photography the cooliris way, just hop over to Cooliris Express and create your own 3D photo wall.
You can set Cooliris to show pictures from a user’s photo stream, from a group’s photo pool, matching search terms, with certain tags. You can select your content from Flickr, Picassa, Youtube orFacebook. The Media Rss option will not work in wordpress.com.

From Cooliris.
The problem is, the embed code given by Cooliris is not wordpress.com-friendly. So, just change it the gigya src way and have a Cooliris photo wall in your blog in no time at all.
If you need help modifying the embed code just ask Panos. (Link given on top of page).
And if you want to put some other Flash stuff in a blog post or the side bar of your wordpress.com blog, just hop over to Panos’ blog again and browse category: Gigya src. He can probably save the day.
