Slideshows Techniques


Get creative with Slideshows!
Slideshows don't have to have a user interface. For instance, you can use them as a rotating banner like the one on the WebPasties home page. Even a dynamic banner ad is possible with the slideshow pastie.
Add color and emphasis to your slideshow descriptions with the HTML FONT, SPAN, and EM tags. With smilies, you can add humour to your descriptions.
Test your slideshow. Play your slideshow to yourself and check to make sure that your pause duration is long enough but not too long. Check the links to make sure they still exist.
Create an account on that is shared by several of your coworkers or friends. Your slideshow that feeds from it will automatically update with everyone's newly added photos with no intervention required on your part.
In order to make all of your images the same height and width, try the following steps for each image:
  • Resize the imagewith the aspect ratio locked so that the new width or height is equal to the desired width or height. This will result in a width or height that is larger than the original.
  • Trim the width or height of the image by reducing the image's canvas size.
