help from those of you who have bloggs

**georgiamudfudge** · 27-04-2006, 05:25 PM

I have recently created my own blogg and i am trying to find a way to sort of set up an album or space just for my scrapbooking layouts. My blog is on the blogspot website and i was wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions? My internet has been down for a few weeks at home and when it comes back up i will have quite a few pics and layouts to post so i thought if i could put them in a certain place or album it would make it easier for friends, family etc to look at.
HELP!

When I was with blogger (just moved to TypePAd) I used flickr.com - you can see it if you click on the pink link below. Very easy to set up and link to your blog - believe me, if I can do it anyone can!

I do like the slides better though, I think. Just thought I'd show you another option!

Edited to add: Just checked out your blog! where in South Africa are you from? I grew up in Durban!

I use flikr and quite like it as it's nice and neat although it doesn't really show off your photos really well, I might just go have a look at getting the slide thingy now!! Thanks for that!

Wow, thanks everyone. I really like the slide idea but i will take some time out to look at that and the flikr one.

I have a day off work on tuesday so might sit and play around with it to see if can get it up.

SuzieR - hi fellow south african....hehe. i grew up in kempton park and then moved down to hilton by pietermaritzburg. I have been here 4.5 years now and my mom and dad are finally moving over in July.

I have a slideshow on my blog too, but I also have a webshots account. A bit like flikr I think, but maybe another option for you to explore.

Happy blogging!

Busy setting up slide on my blog at the moment.

I was born and lived in Randburg, Gauteng till 6 years ago.

Morning, I've downloaded the slide thing but what do i do with it now?? Do I load photo's in to it and then how do I get in my blog? Sorry to be so thick...not really a techie

Dawn - it took me a while to work it out, the instructions are not brilliantly clear, are they? You need to go to www.slide.com and sign up for an account, this is different from the download, still free, though. Once you've done that, it will give you a piece of code which you need to copy and paste into your html on your blog. In mine, which is on blogspot.com, I had to choose the template tag, then paste into the code - I put mine into the sidebar section.
To get photos into your slide, you need to be on slide.com, there is an option which allows you to edit your slideshow, you simply upload the photos, choose your effects etc and slide.com does the rest.
Hope this helps
