Slideshow Troubles

After many, many hours of trying to get my Sideshow to go onto my blog/page correctly and to download not as a posting, I finally made it...It Was Very Frustrating!

I was directed to Picasa by Google, thinking that I just may have stumbled onto a great sight that will do everything easily, but then locating all my pictures from all the different files on my computer was another challenge, then came all the uploading and downloading and organizing the pictures how I wanted them. This was several hours in it's self. When it came to dropping them onto the sight, well...that's when the hair pulling began, and no, the child at my house isn't into blogging, so he wasn't much help, but he tried...Good thing he's going to school this spring.

I finally decide to drop that sight and go to Becky's and Karen's site, where they configured their sideshows. So the picture uploading and downloading started all over again. When it came to the organization of the pictures, well, that went out the window and I decided to select the shuffle pick...but it still wasn't right. Needless to say, my sideshow went in as a posting, not as a set item. So after giving up or taking a break, a quick call went out to Karen to see what I was doing wrong...so back to the computer I came, FINALLY, It Worked! BUT...I now had 2 sideshows of the same pictures...revolving at different times, it was quite interesting, but not what I wanted. With a few more Helps from Google and Blog Spot, the posting was deleted and now my pictures are where I want them.

I hope you'll enjoy watching my children and grandchildren as they grow and as their lives change. I love them more each day...They are my Life...They're why I do what I do.

well, I'm so glad to see you were able to get it all worked out. Believe me, I've had to go through all these frustrating times too. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. It's looking great, and I love the pictures. You are definitely going to have to keep this up now.
