The Slideshow Block

The slideshow block is an extremely easy way to create a dynamic and graphically pleasing effect on any of your webpages.

Creating a Custom Slideshow

Creating a custom slideshow is fairly simple. When you click on the the slideshow block you’ll be able to add images from your file manager one by one. Once you have added all of the images you wish to display in your slideshow, simply click add and your slide show will be ready to roll.

Adding Links to Your Slideshow

If you wish to create links for each of the images in your slideshow, whether it be to different pages on your website, or links to external websites, this is not only possible, but easy to do. When creating a custom slideshow, and adding individual images from your file manager there is a text window where you can type in a link and it will be added to the image.

Tips and Tricks

One of the major tips for creating a slideshow is using files that share the exact same dimensions. If you’re using a an image that is 800x600 and an image that is 500x350 the result will not be graphically pleasing. The slide show will look odd and disjointed. Thus, make sure whichever images you’re using are the same size before you create your slide show.
