Blogger has introduced a new widget for Blogspot Blogs. This is the Slideshow widget to show off your Photos as a slideshow in the sidebar of your blog. Since it is a widget or Page Element it can be added only to a Layout Template.
To add it to your blog login to Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. On the Layout page click the 'Add Page Element' link and choose Slideshow Page element in the popup window. Then choose your options to add from Picasa Web albums, Flickr, Photobucket or any side supporting Media RSS.
For Flickr Username add the word which appears after the word 'Photos' in your Flickr page address :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/USERNAME/
You will see your photos appearing below. If not check your connection.
POSITIONING THE SLIDESHOW
After you place the slideshow element it will occupy the central position in the sidebar. If you want to put it to the right put this code in the CSS part of the template just above the ]]></b:skin> tag.:
#Slideshow2_slideshow {
float:right !important;
}
Look at the unexpanded widget template to get your slideshow ID number from the widget code which will look like this :
<div class='widget Slideshow' id='Slideshow2'>
Put the slideshow ID number in the CSS code above. To float it left use float:left.
CHANGE SLIDESHOW SIZE
To change the size of the slideshow login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Then click Edit Html subtab of Template tab. Put a check in Expand widgets template checkbox at the top of the Template code box. Scroll down to this line in the slideshow widget code :
<div class='slideshow-container' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_slideshow"'>
CHANGE ABOVE LINE TO :
<div class='slideshow-container' expr:id='data:widget.instanceId + "_slideshow"' style='width:350px; height:260px;'>
Change '350' and '260' to the dimensions you want. Make sure that they are less than the width of your sidebar column or your template may get distorted. Preview and save template.
Enjoy!!
Blogger Buzz: Show off your photos with the new Slideshow

I hit the Picasa Web Albums as you said but that was it. How does it catch my photos I want shown.?
AUBURN FOOTBALL STUFF,
In the popup window choose :
Source : Picasa Web Albums.
Then click the Option--->Album. Then you will get a Username box in which type your username used to login at Picasaweb :
Picasaweb for Bloggers
Then choose which album below the Username.
Hey Vin,
I got my slideshow widgets to work, but I don't like the size and alignment. How can I make the slideshow a little bigger and align it to the right?
Jenny
Jenny @ Chronically Uncool,
I have updated the post above. Kindly refer to it.
I have my photos in Photobucket. What do I put in the title and keyword spot so blogger can get to my account.
Bobby and Elicia,
It would be easier to use the Create a slideshow option in Photobucket and copy and paste the give code in a Html Page element.
How can I get the slideshow to pull all of my photos on Flickr, not just the most recently updated 10-20? Thanks!
Nan,
You will have to add a Flickr slideshow for that (get code from Flickr and paste in a Html page element).
I followed your directions and had success getting my sliedshow to show and changing the size of it. My question now is how can I get it to include all the pictures form my flickr photo account and not just the first 20 pictures? Also, can you tell me if I can fix the way they appear somehow, some show up crystal clear and others show up very pixelated (at times hard to make out who the person is)?
im trying to get a slideshow for my blog for my photos on flickr. i tried both username as well as keyword.
the blogger says feed cannot be loaded....what am i doing wrong...the template is right as well.. or how can i get html code for flickr slideshow..
Fiesta A La Renata,
Try adding the Flickr slideshow instead of the Blogger one to get more pictures.
Anonymous,
Check you are using correct USERNAME and add it after the word Photos like this :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/USERNAME/
Maybe I've missed this, as I am a 'brand-new' flickr user. Have added the slideshow, but need to limit what pics are shown.
Is there a no-brainer way to do this? (BTW, this feature is AWESOME)
Thanks...
The Alphin Family,
Try making those pictures private.
Thanks a lot dude. I was looking for the help how to display my photo from flickr. Your post helped me a lot.
Thanks again.
I am really confused about my flickr slideshow. What am I supposed to type in and where on the slideshow page element page? I have tried typing in my username on the Flickr option, and then the URL with the USERNAME on the Other option, but neither worked. What am I supposed to do?
Andrew,
In slideshow popup window dialog box choose Flickr from drop down menu under 'Source'
Then under 'Option' choose 'User' radio button.
Then in 'Username' text box type the name after 'photos' in your Flickr URL as explained in post above. Save.
I thought these were supposed to be user friendly (or at least HTML stupid friendly) but their not. I have been using the "username" portion of www.flickr.com/photos/USERNAME/ in the "add a slideshow" page element for Flickr and nothing appears. I did figured out that your pics in Flickr need to be public (at least thats what made mine show up). The only issue I am having now is that only one picture is showing, although all are marked as public. I am one of these HTML stupids so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I like the idea of this feature, although I haven't used it yet. I'm wondering how I can embed a YouTube video into a blog posting.. any tips on that?
Thanks!
Mars,
Have a look at :
Add a YouTube Video in Blogger
Thanks for the youtube input-- I'll check it out!
how do i change the speed of my pictures on the slideshow?
Elizabeth,
I don't think there is such an option given.
hi Vin
Not having much luck with the slideshow widget either! Very frustrating. The info on your site however is clearer than any other - so thank you for that.
I got it on the first try. You guys rock!
Hi
I am also having trouble getting my Flickr slideshow to show all my pictures, not just the 20 most recent. And I'm just not clear from previous posts as to how to fix this problem? thanks!
Sarah,
That is a feed problem and you just have to wait till they update the feed.
This was very useful. Thanks. Is it possible to get group photos on the slideshow widget? I tried using the flickr.com/groups/USERNAME as the username in the widget but it didn't work. Any ideas?
Manish,
What is your Flickr Group URL/address?
I used photobucket to make a slide show. In the layout editor on Blogger I used the name of the slideshow in the keyword section but it does not load the slideshow. I used the HTML code from photobucket to post the slideshow as a page element but the pictures are larger than the side bar. Any help? Thanks in advance
Countrysidegardner,
Try increasing width of blog columns :
How to Change Blog Width?
Hi Vin
The flickr group url is http://www.flickr.com/groups/669186@N21/. I tried entering 669186@N21 as the user in my slideshow widget.
Manish Mohan,
Since all pictures are by 'manishmo' try entering that on the slideshow widget User Name.
You can also try the Flickr slideshow widget instead of the Blogger one for the Group album.
Photobucket
Hi Vin, I was trying to load a slideshow using Photobucket, but have not had much success. I do get a slideshow running, but it is others pictures. When I try to login as it asks in Photobucket, it says it does not recognize me. Help, please!
Cadria,
Did you use the Blogger slideshow widget OR did you create the slideshow at Photobucket.com and use the code from there?
I tried to load a slideshow by using Add a Page Element>Slideshow. When I click on Photobucket as a source, it asks me for a keyword. I typed in the album name, but that didn't work. A slideshow did appear, but I think it used the name of my album as a keyword (which actually makes sense).
Oh wait, I just went into Photobucket and "shared" the album and it actually worked! :) However, it is now way too big. *sigh* Can you help me with that? Sorry to be such a pain.
Cadria,
Add this code :
<div style="width:150px;">
SLIDESHOW CODE
</div>
around your slideshow code. Use Preview to adjust number '150'.
Hi Vin-
I used your helpful hints yesterday to complete the insertion of my flickr slideshow to my blog page...however, when it came to the alignment (because it's centered just like you said it would be) I understood the first tip about the placement of code, but the second one...about the slideshow number...I could not figure that one out. Please help?
Cindi
Cindi,
In your template code box scroll down to the code for the slideshow widget. It will look like this :
<b:widget id='Slideshow1' locked='false' title='Slideshow' type='Slideshow'/>
For the above code use :
#Slideshow1 {
float:right !important;
}
if you want to put it on the right.
Okay....color me stupid, but the light did not come on yet! I found the
slideshow widget...so I'm supposed to do what? replace the widget with the
other code? Please...I know you are trying to make this very elementary for
people like me....think pre-school! Do I place the #Slideshow1 { and the
rest of it, within the widget? And then, because I want it to go left....I replace right with left?
Cindi,
Paste this code :
#Slideshow1 {
float:right !important;
}
in the CSS part of the template between <b:skin> and </b:skin> tags.
hi vin,
i also tried to add a slideshow, in the way you described (my username from http://www.flickr.com/photos/USERNAME/), but on my blog appears only a blank box.
any ideas?
Neoyoli,
What user name did you use?
Did you check the User option instead of the Keyword option? Also choose 'Flickr' at the top.
hi vin,
thanks for your help, i've tried it again in the same way, it works now! cheers!
My images look extremely pixelated in the slideshow. My Flickr images are 752 x 500 px and display beautifully on the web, but not in the blogger slideshow.
Help please.
D'ogg,
Try uploading images to Photobucket.com. You can also create a slideshow there and paste the code in your blog.
I am frustrated with the slidehsow widget, or maybe it's Flickr that is frustrating me! I have read all these comments and am so impressed with the information here! But still, my problem persists. I am another newby, unclear on html and widgets. I am trying to use the slideshow widget to get certain particular photos from my Flickr acct. It just keeps showing all of my photos. How to I pick and choose?!? What if I want one slideshow of flowers, and another of cars, you know. Please help!
I suceeded in using photobucket, for this, but the images are too large.
Roxlou!,
Try creating another Flickr account.
Vin,
Thanks for the idea! I bet that will work if they let me have multiple accts. It makes sense, then I can have different accoutns for different subject matter, maybe.
By the way, you rock. I have learned so much from this website, how to change the size of my slideshows, how to correctly create a slideshow, even how to do slideshows from different hosts. I am looking forwad to learning more of this HTML stuff, and having even more creative controll! Thanks for your wisdom!!!! How do you have the patience for this!
Hi,
I read and re-read your hints about the username for Flickr but still could not get it to work. I chose Flickr as the source, did that username thing (the numbers that came after 'photos') but still could not get it to load. When I go on my blogspot site on a separate window, either it displays random photos of some scenery or it says "feed could not be loaded" Please help, I am getting very frustrated!!
Anonymous,
What is your Flickr page address?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/24996447@N02/2359797213/
assuming this is the address?!?!
Thanks in advance!! :-)
Thanks sooooooooo much. I just set this up for my sister and it works like a charm!
y
Anonymous,
In slideshow options choose Other instead of Flickr and then in Feed field paste this link :
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=24996447@N02&lang=en-us&format=rss_200
It is the feed link for your album.
Vin,
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE AWESOME!!My slideshow is working now...yay!! You're the best!! :-)
Hi Vin,
I am still a tad confused on trying to add a slide show. I've made the slide show in photobucket, so how EXACTLY do I add it to my blog? I have tried adding new page element & choosing "add slideshow", then what do I choose? I have been trying both photobucket & other.
Any help for this dummy would be greatly appreciated! :)
Cheers
Linda,
Create the slideshow in Photobucket and you will be given the code. Paste that code in Edit Html tab of Post Editor OR in a Html Page Element.
Hi again Vin,
I have tried doing what you say, but it keeps telling me that the feed could not load. I have tried it dozens of times...same problem though.
1. should I be choosing photobucket as the source?
2. if so, where do I put the copied HTML code?
Thanks for all your help
Cheers
Linda,
Photobucket.com has the 'Create a Slideshow' menu. I said to create slideshow there and then copy the code they give and paste it in Edit Html tab of Post Editor or in a Html Page element.
I guess I just don't understand.
I did create the slideshow in photobucket...I did copy the code it gave ...and tried to add the slideshow in my blog by going to "add new page element", "add slideshow"...but no matter which "source" I tried, it keeps saying THE FEED COULD NOT BE LOADED. and it doesn't work.
I guess it's all too difficult and maybe I should just give up.
thanks for ur help
Linda,
After copying code from Photobucket go to 'Add New Page Element" and choose 'Html Page element' in pop up window. (NOT slideshow element).
Paste the code in a Html/Javascript page element!
Thanks again Vin
Yes, that seems to work by adding it in HTML/javascript page element....except that the slideshow is too big, and is only showing about 1/4 of the side of it.
I am new to blogging, and not sure if that's the reason that this all seems like too much for me. At the moment, I really feel like giving up on the whole thing....which is so unlike me :(
Thanks again for your help
Cheers
Linda,
If you want it in your blog post paste the code in Edit Html tab of Post Editor.
If you want to leave it in sidebar you can try to increase width of blog.
Also see if there is a number for width in the code and decrease it to fit the width of your sidebar.
new to blogger and this has help a lot with setting the pages elements,also help with sitemap.one place to come to get all the help for my blogger. when i want to know how to do some thing this is the place thank you for it
Vin,
Can't get Flickr to work for me. I've tried the user name as my actual user name, I've tried the code behind "photos" in the URL - can't get them to show...just a blank screen and all photos are public. Here is my address: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26363079@N08/
Hi,
I am trying to post a slide show in my blog, imported from flickr. I have pasted the user name and it tells me it can't load my selection. I have the same exact problem as "Anonynmous..." Can you give me the feed link to my album as well.
My flickr page address is http://www.flickr.com/photos/7869763@N07/
Many thanks, you guys rock.
Gloria
For The Humphreys,
In the Configure Slideshow popup window I was able to see your slides when I put '26363079@N08' in the Username text box after choosing Source : Flickr and Option : User.
ANonymous,
In your case use '7869763@N07' as Username.
I find Blogger will not allow me to add news Picassa albums when I want to add a slideshow.
If I choose "Picassa" album, add my Picassa name, it will not allow me to add the name of an existing albumn--it only shows what's already been uploaded. Choosing "other" and adding the url or embedding the url or html doesn't work. How can I add multiple Picassa albumns when the program won't let me?
-- Bearboat
http://bearboat-ip26.blogspot.com/
Bearbot,
Are all your albums public? You can also copy-paste the EMBED SLIDESHOW code for each album into a Html Page element.
No, some are private. They ALL have to be public? That's a real disincentive to use Blogger/Picassa. But thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
--BB
Hi Vin..thanks for this wonderful post..i am a newbie in these things and this post will help me a lot...thanks and more power!
I would like to add the slideshow widget to my blog in order to show all the photos I have on the whole blog. Lots of photos on separate blog entries. Is there a way to set up the widget to only scroll through posted blog photos?
Mark and Chris,
All the pictures in a blog are collected together in an album at Picasawebalbums for Bloggers.
Login to your account there and click Embed Slideshow in sidebar after clicking on your album. Copy and paste the code given in the popup window in Edit Html tab of your Post Editor.
O.k. I've been reading all these post hoping to find my golden nugget to fix my problem but I haven't yet. My problem is I used flickr and made a slideshow, I can watch my slideshow on flickr and it looks great. I then saved it and proceeded to move it to my blog. When I went to edit my slideshow page element I chose flickr, picked user, put the user name in which is 26512959@N05 saw my slide start but.... 85% of my show doesn't appear and... it's not in order. Son of a! I am very frustrated! Maybe they are all not public and if so how do I make them public? Because if the ones that are public, became public by accident. Had no idea they had to be. HELP! pretty please..
Darren Hudson,Fairview Tn. United States,
You will have to go into your Flickr settings to make them public.
Thanks for your help. I was having a problem adding flickr and you showed me the way.
Thanks for being here.
I got Blogger to load my album from Picasa, but it shows only the first 5 or 6 photos in the Picasa web album. Any suggestions? Thanks. --Liz
Debbie Denison,
Create a slideshow in Picasa using their link in album page sidebar.
Then paste the code given in a Html page element or Edit Html tab of post editor.
For anyone who'd like to feed only a select set of photos from Flickr to their blog, I've just (after a few hours today...) found it to be a simple extension of earlier advice here re: posting whole streams --
Whereas to post your whole Flickr stream, you'd enter everything after "photos/" in the feed address, to feed only a certain set you'd enter everything after "http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/" in the set's feed address -- here "feeds/" is the juncture just like "photos/". Confusing for a rube like me; hope this helps someone else. Miller-time now.
Hey!
I had my sketches from my Picasa Web Album as a slideshow, but didn't know how to edit the width etc. Thnx alot!!
One more thing, I added more pics in the album today but somehow the Slideshow isn't updating itself with the new pics :(
Any idea why??
Thnx again!
RaSh
http://irrashonallyurs.blogspot.com/
Rash,
It takes some time for feeds to get updated.
I'm wondering if you can help me figure out where to file enhancement requests for the slideshow. I'm used to bugzilla links all over but blogger doesn't have those.
Anyway, you say the limited number of pictures from flickr is related to the feed needing to be updated. Any idea when this can be expected?
To get around the issue of picking limited pics out of my collection, I just assigned a unique tag no one else was using instead of working from my user name, but it would be great if there was somewhere I could ask the people who make this code to consider enhancing a future version with the function to allow dual selection of keyword _and_ user so you can really trust that you'll only get your pics with the right tag.
But thanks for the great tips in your blog. It at least let me know that I wasn't doing anything wrong when the slideshow wasn't doing what I wanted.
Rebecca and Molly the Border Collie,
The Blogger Wishlist.
This worked perfectly to increase the size of my Picasa slide show, so thank you! But it is aligned right and I want the slides centered under the widget title. How do I do that?
Jennifer,
Look for the id of the sldieshow widget in the unexpanded template code and then add this code in CSS part of template :
#SlideShow1 {
text-align: center;
}
where '1' is the id number. Preview and save.
Thanks so much for your help, you rock. It's still not centered but I think it has to do with the photos I'm using, because on another slideshow I have with wider pics, it looks more centered.
Thansk a lot for the tips ! for sure must buy you a beer ! thanks again !
oh my heck, thank you!! you're a genius! i could have save so much time if i had come here first! Thank you!
I'm still having a little bit of difficulty adding only a specific set to my slideshow, as opposed to my entire Flickr contents.
Can you clarify? Would I need to amend the username in the "configure slideshow" dialogue box?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Helloo, Im trying to make my slidshow bigger and i followed the code change but it says it is not well formed and that there is an XML error because it is not closed properly...? Im new this as well and Im not quite sure what that means, so any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks!
Chels,
What is the exact error message? What is the code you pasted?
Totally new to blogging here, so bear with me. I managed to get my flickr slideshow working and showing on my new blog. Of course it's only showing the most recent 20 pics, and I want them all to show. I've read through all of these comments and I'm afraid I don't understand where to get the flickr slide show feed code and then where to input that on blogger. Am I going into the actual HTML? Or am I putting the flickr slideshow feed code into the little widget form? Help!! :)
Never mind! I figured it out!! I used flickrSLiDR and then found the right widget (HTML/JavaScript) to paste it into. But I wouldn't have figured it out if it weren't for your blog, so THANKS!!
THANK YOU for these detailed instructions! After implementing several different pieces of advice, my photos from Flickr are finally showing up on my blog!
QUESTION...any way to make the photos show up larger?? Appreciate your patience!
NICKELED & DIMED,
If you generate slideshow code at Flickr there are probably width and height parameters in it which you can try modifying.
Hey there,
This is all really helpful, but I'm having issues with the Flickr slideshow only showing a limited number of my photos. None of my images in Flickr are private... what am I doing wrong?
http://sissyfish.blogspot.com
Chum,
Try generating code at Flickr.com slideshow creation tool and paste that in Edit Html tab of Post Editor or Html page element.
I had a slideshow using the Slideshow widget from my Photobucket album using the Feed HTML (album feed in photobucket). All of a sudden it has stopped working - it just says Loading and then nothing shows up. I created a slideshow in Photobucket and added the HTML Page Element, but I really prefer the other way. Any tips on getting my original slidehow back?
Lindsay,
Try deleting it and adding a slideshow page element. What do you prefer in the first which is not there in the second?
Vin,
I tried that with no luck. I liked the Slideshow Page Element because when you click on the picture it doesn't bring up my photobucket account, just the picture by itself in a separate window. Here's my blog - I've kept the non-working slideshow at the bottom right of my sidebar in case maybe it was just waiting for something to update.
http://rossandlindsay.blogspot.com/
Thanks for your help!
Lindsay,
What is the link of your album?
Here it is:
http://s278.photobucket.com/albums/kk95/texasmomma08/Sonogram%205-29-08/
Thanks!
Lindsay,
In the Add Element popup window, DON'T choose PHOTOBUCKET keyword with
photobucket display all the pictures with the tag (keyword)
Choose Other, and enter this feed URL :
http://feed278.photobucket.com/albums/kk95/texasmomma08/Sonogram%205-29-08/feed.rss
Vin-
That was how I had it set up - I used your feed just to be sure and it still didn't work. What's crazy is that it worked fine for 6 weeks and then just stopped all of a sudden. Any other thoughts? I'm about ready to give up. Thanks for your time and patience though.
-Lindsay
Lindsay,
Clicking on the feed link in Firefox shows all the pictures. Try clearing the cache or use a different browser.
Is it possible to remove the border around the slideshow?
Thanks
hi there!!
I have managed to create a slide show using photobucket and post it in my blog, but after the slide the direct link and html code are shown, is there a way to hide them, because I don't want my viewer to have a direct link to my photobucket account. Thank you very much.
Mayet,
What is the blog address and where is the slideshow - in which post?
The Great Explorer,
I don't see any border! You can try this code in the CSS :
.slideshow-container {
border:0px !important;
}
hi
I have put it in my sample blog.
to make sure it's ok before posting in my main blog.
http://bahayninanay.blogspot.com
thanks
Mayet,
Is it the slideshow in this post "Images from Katia's bbq party"?
Because I can't see any html code after it.
Perhaps you can provide link to a screenshot.
Makes sense, but not working. Does it matter that my Picasa Web album is unlisted and my blog is essentially a team bulletin board (thus far)?
waterboy,
Your album has to be public for the slideshow to work.
waterboy,
Your album has to be public for the slideshow to work.
You mention many times to create a slideshow in Photobucket and to copy the code. How do I get the code from photobucket? I created a slideshow but don't see any code.
Adele,
After creating it click Share in top horiz. menu bar and then on Other Sites in drop down. Then click on Blogger to get the code.
I got the html like you said from photobucket and I resized it so it fit in my screen. But now, it says "loading" and never actually loads. I am not sure what the problem is now.
Adele,
What is the link of your slideshow on Photobucket?
Was it showing correctly before you modified the code?
I tried adding the html here, but it says it cannot be accepted. My blog is The life and Times of Manzi. You'll see what I am talking about when you click on the blog.
About changing the size: I changed the two 320's to 160 and the 240 to 120. It didn't work before I changed them and now I changed it back and it still doesn't work. The code did work when it was a post, just not when I made it as an html gadget.
Adele,
Can you create it again in a post so that I can check it out?
Here it is:
http://manziworld.blogspot.com/
Adele,
The code in the sidebar gadget is different from the one in the post. The post code contains this line
pbwurl=http://w176.photobucket.com/albums/w188/adele28schatzi/dd2abcbe.pbw
hence it is working. The sidebar gadget does not have it after "pbwurl="
You're a genious. I don't know why that line after the pbwur1 doesn't show up when I clicked on the html code for my post. But after copying and pasting what you wrote, it is now working. Thankyou so much.
Please bear with me if I'm asking a repeat question .... just upgaded from Classic template, and I already have the flickr html code to insert a slideshow/badge into my template (as opposed to using the sidebar feature.) Can you tell me exactly WHERE in the template I am supposed to insert the code? In my classic template, I had it inserted under my header, and above my posts, stretched out across the middle. Now, no matter where I put it in the template, the photos show up above my header, and ALL the code is listed as well.
Any suggestions??? Thanks so much (this worked flawlessly in my classic template and I'm already considering going back to that .... but I'd love to utilize some of the features of the upgraded version as well, so I'm really hoping I can figure this out!) :)
Kristie
Kristie,
DO NOT PASTE DIRECTLY IN TEMPLATE.
Go to Layout---->Page Elements--->Click Add Gadget link---->In popup window scroll down and click Html gadget----->Paste the code under Contents and Save.
Vin, thanks for the instruction on how to enter as a gadget .... I don't mean to appear dense, but where is the "paste" button for the content box? I've got it "copied" ... but can't see where to "paste" on that screen, and no way could I re-type the entire page of html code without messing it up!! :)
Kristie,
You can do either of the following :
1. Right click inside the contents and choose 'Paste' from drop down menu.
2. Left click once inside the contents window and do a Ctrl+V on keyboard.
Either of above only after copying the flickr code.
I set up a Picasa Web Album... When I attempt to configure the slideshow on blogger, I get: "feed could not be loaded."
Matt Dowdell,
Click on your album at Picasaweb.
Then click 'Link to this album' link in sidebar.
In expanded box click 'Embed Slideshow' link.
In popup window get the code to copy.
Paste it in a Html gadget or in Edit Html tab of Post Editor.
This is great, thanks for the info! I am wondering why the slideshow cannot be put into the header area? I am hoping to find one I can put there...any suggestions where I can find one? There are free templates one can download for WordPress to place in the header area, very nice but I cannot find one for Blogger. I don't want to make the switch but will if I can't find a solution.
Thanks in Advance!
Charlie,
Just a minor edit of the Template Code will enable you to add ANY gadget to header.
See the first part of my post on How to add picture to header?
Vin,
Mark and Chris asked above if you can have a slide show of just the pictures on your blog- I know about Picasa Web Albums, but not all the photos on my Picasa are on my blog. Some are in various albums. I think the question is, is there a way to have a scrollable slide show or photo browser of just the photos that are within posts on your blog? Something that can show only the photos on your posts? Thanks.
Tessa
DirtDigger (Tessa),
All photos in your blog are in one album in Picasawebalbum. You can make a Custom Slideshow of all pictures in that album.
