Adding a slideshow

4 December 2007

If you have a running series of photos you want to display, there are a couple ways to do it.

The easiest, I’ve found, is to use Slide.com. Visit WordPress’s FAQ page to learn more . . . or

This is what you will do:

  1. Go to Slide.com
  2. Sign in or get a FREE account
  3. Upload photos– you can upload a whole bunch at a time
  4. Customise your slide show– styles, skins, themes . . .
  5. When you’re happy, SAVE and get code– the code with be in square brackets. You can go back and edit your slideshow at any time.
  6. COPY the code onto your post or page
  7. Then is appears, like this one I did (with a bit of a sepia/ 8mm theme):

    I’ve also found it useful for concert posters:

    They are different sizes because I changed the width and height settings in the code. the first one is “w=426&h=320″ and the poster is “w=280&h-240″
