Slide show of favorite pictures from China

I was looking at my Smugmug site a few days ago and was pleased to see that they have made it possible to do bulk editing of captions and keywords for photos selected on keywords. So for example now it is possible to view all of the photos associated with a specified set of keywords via a standard keyword url, for example http://canghuixu.smugmug.com/keyword/china-favorite to bring up all the photos at my site with china and favorite as keywords, and then use Tools/Caption Keyword to go to a screen that allows for bulk editing. This is handy because right now, at least as far as I know, keyword-based feeds in Smugmug can only accommodate one keyword, so it isn't possible to do a slideshow of favorite China photos by specifying a keyword feed URL that includes China and favorite. I used the new bulk editing under Tools in the keyword photo view to add a new keyword chinafavorite to all the photos with China and favorite as keywords, and now I can use that as the basis of a keyword feed. I suppose I could have done this manually before, but it would have taken a while. Here is the slideshow of my resulting favorites:




Now that bulk addition of keywords is so simple, I'll probably start posting slideshows of some of my favorite themes, like walkways and corridors, subway stations, and so forth.
