How to Make Slideshows for Your Page

Designing a slideshow for your page will improve its design and professionalism.

Adding a slideshow to a webpage makes the site more personal and customized. If you are running a business webpage, then a slideshow can make your site seem more professional and attractive. A slideshow can contain any images that you desire, although by keeping the slideshow related to your website, it will improve the overall design of your site. Designing a slideshow is a simple process and can be done without the need for specialist equipment.

Instructions

1. Log on to the Internet and go to "Flickr," a site for sharing photos. Register if you don't already have an account, then sign in to your account.

2. Upload the photos you want in your slideshow by clicking "Upload" and selecting the photos' location on your computer. You can upload as many as you'd like; including at least five will ensure that your slideshow does not seem sparse. Once you are happy with the number and layout of the photos, log out of Flickr.

3. Go to the Flickr slideshow site. In the address bar, type in the URL of your Flickr page, which will follow the format "www.flickr.com/photos/username." Replace "username" with your username. Enter in a tag or text if you wish. Click "Create Slideshow" and copy the HTML code that appears in the box at the bottom.

4. Paste the HTML code into your webpage or blog, and your slideshow will appear. You will be able to regularly change the slideshow by changing the photos in your Flickr account and repeating the process.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to always gain permission before taking photographs from someone else's site.
