some of you may have changed the default slideshow on the main page to a 1 or more row photo display since the slideshow slows page load somewhat
but you might still wish you had the slideshow as an option
well ive used the embed code edited out the link code (you dont need a see more like this link on your own site) and adjust the size
i added a small version on my splash page but then created a large version on a seperate "popular pics" page
aded a lil simple css to spice it up a tad and add it to your menu tabs
example
www.dreadlockssite.com has the small version
www.dreadlockssite.com/main here i changed the slideshow to a single row of pics for fastest load times
http://www.dreadlockssite.com/page/most-popular-dreadlocks-photos#....
and heres the new page with the large slideshow
i wrapped the slideshow embed code in a div and adjusted the size
heres the code but note this is my slideshows code replace it with your slideshows embed code and adjust the size this size is for the 2 collumn layout
note for networks that are photography sites using the full page width might be worth trying for a more dramatic effect
html (red is embed code you replace with yours blue the width values you should edit to fit your layout)
(remember to edit out the link code not shown here)

but things are gettin back to normal
Permalink Reply by dex meaans on July 21, 2012 at 5:32am I love it do you know how page views are computed since its an auto slide slow with an option to click manually. Meaning that if I just watch all 100 images on auto does it count as 1 page view or a 100?

Permalink Reply by soaringeagle on July 21, 2012 at 11:32am yes its just 1 page view
just kike if you load a page with a video and rhe video has thousands of frames
this is a slideshow of 100 images but the page only loads once
Permalink Reply by Siem van Westen on August 7, 2012 at 10:52pm hey, i love the things you do.
dreads are not my thing as i have a billiardball-hairstyle =>(
I have taken over our webside not so long ago and are really a rookie and all the programlanguage looks like double dutch to me. And i'm only single dutch, so to do major surgery on the site scares me a lot.
We ( mijnzaanstreek.ning.com) are an dutch fotosite with the emphasis on the region we are living in. So to have a sliteshow of the top100-pictures would look awesome.
If i would have a go on this slideshow am i running the risk off ending up with a mess?
