How to insert slide show from Flickr and Picasa

Hi everybody.
As far I know the two best on line photo sharing site are Flickr and Picasa Web Album. We can share photo with our friend family. We have option whether we want to show the photo publicly or we can upload photo privately so that any one, other than whom with I am sharing photo, can't see my picture. You can use the link of the photos of from these site and use them in your site to show them. You can use them for slide show by using html code, which you can get from the site by using some simple step, which I will discus later.Here I will discus how can we insert photo slide show from Picasa or form Flickr to your blog. There is some gadget for showing the Picasa and Flickr Photostream.

 But this gadget for Flickr Photostream was not working for me. It was not recognizing my user name. Though the Picasa Photostream gadget was working but it was showing like a line of photos, but I was actually interested in slide show of the photos. After doing a lot of search I found that there is a gadget called slide show.
I have used this Slideshow gadget to show slide show from flickr and picasa. Click on the "+" of the top right corner of the gadget. Then a configuration window will cone. Select other from the picasa, flickr,...etc option.
 Now copy url from the RSS link provided at the bottom of your flickr photo stream page.
Then paste the url on the Feed URL box of the gadget. Now you can see your flickr photos on the preview space of the gadget. Click save now. You are done now.
You can use same gadget to show picasa photo from a particular album, just chose picasa web from the drop down button and then select the album button below. Now provide your picasa username. You can select the other option from the drop down menu and then copy the rss link that provided by picasa at your album, at the bottom of the album page, to show the slideshow from the picasa album.
You can show all the cover photo of the publick album using the rss feed given at the home page of your picasa.
You can play with various  option given in the gadget and also different feed provided in the different page of these site to get some excellent slideshow.
Try it, enjoy it. Have a good day.

Changing caption width in latex

In this post I will discuss how to change the width of the figure caption. You can use the same technique to change the width of the other caption (like table caption). Here I am using the caption package. In caption package you can specify the width while loading the package or latter using \captionsetup command. Syntax of the both command are as following \usepackage[<option>]{caption} and command for captionsetup is \captionsetup[<float type>]{<option>} In the <option> we can use width=0.8\textwidth to specify width of the caption. If we specify that in the time of loading (i.e. when using with \usepackage command) it will affect all the float (like figure, table) but if you specify it in command \usepackage then you can specify float type. Then the specific float type will only be effected. This way you can specify two different width for different float. You can also specify other kind of formatting (like italic text) usi

There is no direct command to define subtitle in latex. But you can define the \subtitle command using titling package.

Minimum working example Code \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{% \posttitle{% \par\end{center} \begin{center}\large#1\end{center} \vskip0.1em}}% \title{This is the title of the document} \subtitle{This is subtitle} \author{Apurba Paul} \date{January 08, 2013} \begin{document} \maketitle Body of the document. \lipsum[1] \end{document} Output
