How to Make a Picture Slideshow for Websites
Online picture slideshows make it easy to share photos with friends and family. Loved ones often must move for many reasons, so they need ways of keeping in touch. The Internet provides several tools to keep loved ones closer. However, loading multiple pictures for friends and family individually takes time and space. A slideshow maker simplifies that process. Internet users simply need to upload their pictures to a free slideshow maker all at one time. They can then conveniently upload and share all their pictures on any Website with a single file.

Load the pictures for the slideshow onto a computer. Digital cameras come with a CD. Put that CD into the computer and follow the instructions to install the software. Hook the camera up to the computer with the USB cable and turn on the camera. The pictures usually start loading at that point. Refer to the camera manual or manufacturer's Website for instructions for that camera's specific model.

The service gives instructions for uploading to some popular Websites, but users can take the code that appears and put it on any Website. Each slideshow also has its own dedicated Website address on Slide. Look to the right of "Share This Slideshow" to get that Web address.

Copy the code if putting the slideshow on a different Website. Popular photo-sharing Websites each have their own design, so follow the rules of the Website for loading HTML or simply enter the slideshow's Website address if the Website gives that upload option. Loading the slideshow onto a personal Website involves placing the HTML onto an existing page. Use the host's file manager and code editor to put the slideshow code into the page (see References 2).

Tips & Warnings
Choose a theme based on the target audience. For example, use the love theme for a spouse or a more general theme for a group of friends.
Start the process over again if the software malfunctions or use the "other file uploader" link from the slideshow maker's first page.
