I like the slideshow shown here:
http://cmac.smugmug.com/photos/swfpopup.mg?AlbumID=2504559&AlbumKey=f3ta9
for http://ashleighdgrantham.smugmug.com/ I would not want the thumbs at the top but I do like the way it hides from view. Can a banner be a part of custom footer along with the smugmug stuff along with copyright information? I would want the banner to fade out like the thumbs on cmac.smugmug.com but appear with a mouse over in either of the lower two corners of the page. I would also want the slideshow to be in a loop in that when the last picture in the galleries displayed it automatically restarted.

Is it possible to have a slide show like this that includes all galleries that are not hidden in on the home show or would one have to make a separate gallery that held all the photos for purpose of the homepage slideshow? Please refer to: http://www.achungphoto.com/index2.php as an example of what I am trying to accomplish.

I previously wrote on this topic here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=109392 (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=109392)sorry the reply did not sink in until trying to go to sleep last night thus the new questions,

I am sorry to be such a pain. Believe me I have read your tutorials and remember reading most of this but cannot find the answers that I need at this time.

Thank you for your help.

Surely there is a work around for this.

I think the reason you're not getting an answer is it's hard to tell specifically what you are asking.

Yes, a slideshow can be in your custom footer. If you follow the same steps in the tutorial, but put the slideshow code in your custom footer, it will work in the footer.

A slideshow can draw from a gallery or from a feed. The only way I know of to get it to draw across many galleries is to assign a keyword to photos across many galleries and have the slideshow draw from a feed based on that keyword. If you're interested in feeds, here's the help page (http://www.smugmug.com/help/rss-atom-feeds) on them.

Beyond these two points, I don't understand what you are asking for.
