How do I add a photo slideshow?

NOTES:

The slide show feature looks best when all photos are the same orientation (i.e. landscape or portrait).

Very large photos can take a very long time to load, so we recommend resizing your photos to no larger than 800 x 600 pixels before you upload them to the slideshow. Smart phone and digital cameras take large photos that must be resized prior to loading.  Please refer to your digital camera download settings, or for help with resizing images using your computer's photo editor, see our FAQ/HELP article on resizing photos.

 

1. Click on "Edit Website" in the dark blue box on your Dashboard.

2. Go to the page in which you would like your slideshow to appear.

3. Scroll down the page until you see an aqua box on the left of the screen that says "Add a New Page Block" and right click on it.

4. Select "Photo/Slideshow" and click "Submit."

5. Browse to the appropriate folder on your computer, select the photo you wish to add and Upload Or Choose from your picture library.

6. Add picture.

7. Repeat these steps until all of your photos have been added.

8. Your current photos will appear as thumbnails in the Photo Editor. Select the type of image gallery you would like to have (i.e. Slideshow, Gallery 2 across, Gallery 4 Across).

9. Select Lightbox feature if you would like a large & sophisticated way to view your gallery on your live site. This is perfect for artists and photos with lots of detail.

10. Save your changes.

11. PUBLISH to make changes live.
