this is boring and techie... but I have been working on the family website KnaphusFamily.org and I am trying to find a slideshow embedder that I like. In the older days I would just punch in some html with some pre-loaded pictures and it would play... but times have changed and I don't even know if the internet browsers of today would like my old code. So, I figured I would grab one of these things like google things or flickr things or what-not and see how it goes. But so far... i don't really like any of them enough. Here are a couple examples of what I have found.
This first one is from my flickr account. I like it except that you have to roll over this for the thumbnails to disappear at the bottom.
This one is from picasa (Google's photo spot). I don't like how it doesn't loop. I also dislike the way it doesn't fill the window box it is in.
This one is Google's presentation software (from Google docs). This is basically a "Powerpoint" presentation set to run on a loop. I like it... I just wish I could get rid of the distracting controller at the bottom. Other than that, I like how it fills the window it is in.
I found one from visualslideshow.com and looks very promising. It was a free download. I like everything about it except their little url at the bottom right... we'll see if we can hack it out... in addition, all the images have to be a certain pixels first. But that's easy enough. So, sorry for the boring post... just enjoy the slide shows.
