Create an Image Slideshow

Our slideshow element (available under the "Multimedia" category of elements) enables you to show off your photos with style.  

To add a slidehow, just drag the element to a page on your site.

This will open the "Choose a Slideshow Style" dialog box where you can select which style of slideshow you want.  This can always be changed later (we even provide more options later), so don't spend too much time worrying about which one you want.  Let's select Thumbnails on Bottom for this example.

You'll now be prompted to upload photos.  Hit the big Upload Photos button to get started.

Then select the photos you want to upload.  You can always delete photos / upload more later. 

Depending on how many photos you selected, it may take them a few minutes to upload.  Once they're done uploading you'll see them all on the photo management screen.

You can drag photos to re-order them, click the "x" next to each to delete them and click the "bubble" icon to add a caption that'll appear along with the photo in the slideshow. 

When you're ready to move on, click Save and you'll new see the slideshow as part of the page.  

You can now use the slideshow toolbar to make changes.  

• Use the Add / Edit Photos button to bring up the Manage Photos dialog box we saw earlier. 
  
• Use Nav Style to select whether you want to use Thumbnails, Numbers or neither. 
  
• Use Nav Location to place the Nav Bar at the Bottom, Top, Left or Right of the slideshow. 
  
• Select Fade or Slide for the Transition Style.  This determines how the show moves from one image to the next. 
  
• Turn Autoplay Off / On for the show.  If it's on, then the slideshow will immediately start playing when a visitor opens the page. 
  
• And with the Advanced option, set the speed of the show (how long each image is shown), whether you want the Captions (if you have any) on the top or bottom and what you'd like the Aspect Ratio to be (16:9, 4:3, or 3:2).  The system is very good about determining this automatically, though.  
  

Note that the slideshow will automatically expand to the width of the page or column in which you've placed it.  

Check out the slideshow below to see how it usually works.  This slideshow has the navigation and captions set to the bottom of the show and auto-play is turned off.
