DSLRBlog Flickr ShowPic – Show a recent pic from your stream using simple image tag

Have you ever wanted to link to your most recent pic in another website outside of Flickr, for example your homepage, blog, or as a forum avatar? Now you can with our latest service.

DSLRBlog Flickr Show Recent Pic Thingy

You can also navigate from the menu on the right.

Enter your username, what size to display and optionally a tag. When you submit you will be shown the HTML of an image tag and what the image will look like. You can then use this HTML in your website profile, or just the URL as your forum avatar/signature (for those forums that allow you to use external URLs) etc.

The way it works is to take your input then redirect you to the most recent, relevant image. So I could use the following URL

http://dslrblog.com/showpic/chrisgarrett/small/experiments/

This would be processed to find my most recent “experiments” tagged image and take you to the small version of the image. No scripting required, just a simple image.

As you can see there is a complimentary service called GoPic for creating links that always point to the most recent (optionally filtered by tag) picture also.

Please try it out and see what you think?
