embedd a flickr slideshow set to allow good control of display order

I always seem to struggle with embedding flickr photos into my web pages and I'm not sure why really. If you want a lot of control of the order your photos will display, you should create a flickr set and put the photos in there and order them.

Then you'll need to use your flickr user id number (see idgettr.com) and the set id number for your photos (shown in the URL when you view the set).

Then replace the user_id and set_id in the following bit of code, showing my Impington Swimming Club set.
