How to Create A Picture Slideshow for Your Website
I ran into this very neat Power Toy (Slide Show Wizard) offered by Microsoft. It allows you to create an HTML slideshow of a group of pictures that you can later upload to your server so that friends and family can view it. Alternately you can keep it on your computer and run the slideshow from your Slideshow folder. Below you will find instructions on how to create a picture slideshow using Microsoft’s Slide Show Wizard enable/disable the sound icon from your taskbar. You can also view the PDF by clicking on the PDF tutorial icon. As always comments/suggestions are always welcome.
