For example, you can "save page" in your browser to get a copy of the page I did. You'll also need to download the support files from the site I got the example at and have the files in the same directory on you web server. Then try adding the stuff you want and changing it. The site I where I got this has some installation directions under "how to use it". If you know a little basic HTML you can probably figure it out... you don't really need to know any javascript... just copy the way it's used in the example. Dan,

Everything I've done is through Front Page. I'm somewhat familiar with html, but not nearly enough. What's the best way to learn how to incorporate this slide show into my website? Thanks, Dan I really want to use this slideshow. Everything I’ve done is through Front Page. I’m somewhat familiar with html, but not nearly enough. What’s the best way to learn how to incorporate this slide show into my website?

Thanks,
Dan

The reason I'm giving all these slide show creating alternatives is as a RE photographer you want to be able to create branded (that is, with your Realtor clients' information) slide shows and property sites to sell as a product to your RE photography clients or to use as a Realtor. Just like the house boat property site (Rick Miner's) that I featured a few days ago. That javascript slide show was done by Rick's assistant and it has it's own unique URL (www.roanokereef13.com)... it's a property site. Flickr looks like flickr.. it has Flickr branding. Realtors want their name, phone numbers, photos, property address, price, rubber duckie logos, etc. They want something distinctive and unique... just like Rick Miner's house boat property site. Or all these slide show alternatives I've been taking about can be used as components on your site as a gallery of your work. For example, Aaron uses Simpleviewer to run the image galleries on his site (see: www.aaronleitz.com ). The flickr slide show you refer to is Flash based. Michael,

What advantages does it have above using a service like Flickr's abilbiy to show a set of photos also in a simple slide show. See an example at this link: http://www.flickr.com/gp/9502513@N02/17HfR9. Does Flickr's slideshow require Java? I don't think so.
