A WordPress slideshow plugin fed from a SmugMug, Flickr, MobileMe, Picasa or Photobucket RSS feed and displayed using pure Javascript. 
Blip does not hardcode what it finds into your blog. Instead the most recent images are loaded in real-time by the user’s web browser.
See it in live use at my <a href="http://www.ambientphotography.ca/" rel="nofollow ugc">wedding photography</a> website.
<blockquote>
Please note that Blip is <a href="http://mootorial.com/wiki/mootorial/00a-mootoolsvsothers" rel="nofollow ugc">not compatible with the Javascript framework Prototype</a>. Please check for “prototype.js” in your webpage, included by your theme or other plugin, before contacting me for help.

Adds <media> tags to your feeds with post thumbnail support which came with WP 2.9 version. This plugin is based on Andy’s (http://andy.wordpress.com/) MediaRSS plugin. If you use that MediaRSS plugin unactivate it before activating this plugin.
MediaRSS is a way of embedding media into your feeds. The specification at http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/ provides for many kinds of media: audio, video, etc. This plugin is equipped to locate img tags in your posts and generate XML code that can be used by feed readers.
Also included are code samples demonstrating how to extend the plugin’s functionality to meet your needs. Some PHP experience is assumed.
