To display photos from you photostream on your website, you can use the 'user' attribute. Displaying photos from you own photostream is a straight forward process, unlike displaying photo's from a photostream of someone else, or a photostream of a group.
Example: Displaying the photostream the plugin uses on this website, limited to 14 photos

Just like with sets, we can display one photo of a stream on the webpage and have it linked to a collection of photos from a (user/group)stream. It works in a similar way, by putting the photo attribute with value "display" in the expression.
Example: Displaying 1 photo on the website and the userstream in the image viewer

In aproximately the same way you can display:
as explained below.
As you probably would have guessed from the paragraph above, you can display the photostream from a different flickr user by using the user attribute. This is a bit more complicated than in looks however. The method used by the flickr API to access someones photostream is by a user's ID (which is displayed almost nowhere) instead of a users username (which is displayed on virtually every user page on Flickr). Luckily there is a simple tool available on the internet to obtain someones user ID by his or her users profile URL: http://idgettr.com For instance, the user profile url "http://www.flickr.com/photos/puurthomas" will result in "85575418@N00"
Example: Displaying a userstream based on a flickr user id, limited to 14 photos

Another option which probably will not be used that often, is to display the photo stream of all users on flickr (the most recent photo's uploaded to flickr).
Example: Displaying the flickr photostream, limited to 14 photos

The process for displaying photos from a group is similar to the process of displaying photos from a user stram. You have to obtain the group ID (which can be obtained via http://idgettr.com). The expression attribute to be used for a group is 'group' (how surprising).
Example: Displaying the group stram of flickr group "Veluwe", limited to 14 photos
