slideshow, starting at step negative three...

[quirk6]

I know the pros here must get tired of going over this. I would like to add a slideshow to my opening page. There is a whole thread devoted to this, I see, but I'm not getting anything there. I don't understand how pointing out sample webpages is supposed to help. I look at the source code, but I don't really know what's what in all that code. I quite like the slide show at http://gregsmith.smugmug.com, I've examined his source code, but I don't get it, I think I see where the slideshow is, but I don't see where it points to a gallery or images or anything. I'm willing to do some work here, but so far everything I've looked at assumes more than I know. I could use some real step by step help here. Thanks

Go here, and get the slideshow code, and put it in your Javascript box.

Then get the instructions downloaded, and put the parameters as instructed in your footer.

Then, choose a gallery from which you will run the slideshow. Share that link here, and we'll get you going the rest of the way :thumb

If I had paid closer attention earlier, this would've gone more smoothly! That was helpful, I just didn't notice that the javascript code was there. So I've gone through, got the slideshow up, resized, centered and on a transparent background in the biobox. So far so good. Now I want to work on controls like gregsmith.smugmug.com. Next step is a navbar! There are lots of tuts for that, I've seen, so hopefully I can get what I need there, but I want to use a graphical one so hopefully I won't wind up pulling my hair out. A couple of basic questions. How do I get it to stop saying "adammorgansmith's home" above my biobox, and how do I set a custom background?

...I haven't actually searched these things out yet, just thought I should respond before I forgot.

Hi :)

The information you are looking for to remove your username on your homepage can be found here:

Just cut and paste that info into your CSS box.

You can set a graphic as your background by using this:

body {
background-attachment: fixed;
background-image:
url(http://IMAGE URL);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: left bottom;
}

Tweak how you want it exactly depending on what kind of background you will be using.

Let us know if you need help with this :)
