Hi,
Thought it might be nice to have a thread where we can put the how tos on working some of the cool items in SW.
Flickr Frames and Posters:
1.To put a picture in the picture frame you first need a flickr account. The basic account is free and gives plenty of upload space.
2.You then upload your favorite pictures to your account.
3.You MUST make sure you set your pictures to anyone can view them. If they are set on private they will not show up for you in the search.
4.Now when you have your frame on the wall you click it and click configure.
5.When the box comes up you type in your flickr account name and hit search. A list of all your pictures you have on that account come up.
6.When you see a picture you want to add from your pics mouse over it and there is a + sign. Click that and it adds it to your frame.
7.You can also add multiple pics and under options set it up as a slide show.
8. Click Save
9. Click frame and click Security
10. Click owner as person who can use this item and move this item. No no one can change the frame.
** Note: you can use anyones pictures that are public in your frames. Just search keywords like Disney, cat, flowers so on and pictures will show up. Also if you have a friend or relative and know their flickr account you can search theirs**
Seeqpod Stereo:
1. Click on configure item**You must use configure to create a playlist you want to keep.
2. Click search
3. Type in what you are looking for,. I wanted Disney music so I typed in things like Disney, Epcot, Haunted Mansion, Tiki so on.
4. See something you want mouse over it and click the + sign. It has now been added to your play list. Do this for all songs you want to add.
5. Click play list tab to see what you have.
6. Click options. This will let you select to have music start automatically and if you want the songs shuffled.
7. Click save to keep all your changes.
8. Click stereo again
9. Click security
10. Click owner for people who can move this item and owner for people who can use this item. No no one can add or remove songs now.
If you want others to use your stereo please note the following:
If you set the security to everyone under people who can use this then yes they can control the songs. They can add to the current playlist or delete from the list by pressing the X but it is NOT saved and is NOT a permanent change. It works like this:
Example:
You have your stereo on and I come in to your room. I delete a song and add another. You click on the playlist and you can see the changes i made-everyone in the room does. For your playlist to revert back to your original settings, 2 things have to happen. The player that made the changes must leave the room then you must leave and re-enter. That resets your playlist back to the original for you. Anyone else in the room has the changed playlist until they leave and reenter.
Stack of Magazines:
The stack of magazines is actually an item you can configure to link to outside websites. To work item do:
1. After placing magazines on a table click the item and click configure.
2. Click add
3. Type in the site name, then URL then a small description.
4. Then click add button below the description.
5. Click save.
We tested the security:
Owner only- no links show up for anyone else
Anyone- people can view the links you have added but can not change delete or add any.
To use the item:
1. click on item
2. Click View
3. Click the bookmark (link)
4. Click launch website
5. Opens link in a new wind
I will add more as I get the information.

I was wondering why my flickr account wouldn't show up. The magazine/web link sounds pretty cool too
