Website Slideshows

[Shelley]

I'm not sure if this has been previously asked.... but if so perhaps someone can point me to the thread....

I've seen slideshows on some websites where the pics scroll through automatically and would love one on my site.... I have little to no html experience... can anybody point me to an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

I found the free ones on Photobucket.com work pretty well. They have about 6 different types you can use, depending on where you are posting. (ebay, message boards, websites) All you have to do is check a box for pictures, and then test the 6 different code types it gives you. That makes it really easy if you don't know much about html/flash code. They host your pictures too, so it doesnt use your websites bandwidth to load the pics.

Here are a couple I made for my tool listings on ebay:
slideshow (http://w40.photobucket.com/widgets/dynamicflash.php?featuretype=bucketstrip&featurename=brasstoolsets&pa=/e249/cncalchemy/)
bucketstamp (http://w40.photobucket.com/widgets/dynamicdhtml.php?featuretype=bucketstamp&featurename=brass1&pa=/e249/cncalchemy/)

Pretty slick for free!

Its just above where your pictures start after you log in, click the Bucket Features button. Then you can choose what kind to make, name it, and start picking the images to use. You can go back later and change pictures too, without having to change your web pages.

You can make your photos scroll by adding a marquee code to your images. I have one on my eBay ME PAGE. You can see it here http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=madglass1

Here is the code I used to create it, http://www.practiceboard.com/?3618838

my images and links are in place, so you would have to adjust it and put your img url's in their place. I have ALOT of photos in mine and you don't have to use that many. and where the code says scrollamount=4 ... the 4 is to control the speed of the scroll make it faster by raising the numbers, slower by reducing them. Hope it helps. If you need any help just let me know I would be happy to assist where I can
