Question from Bree: “Has anyone made a slideshow of their photographs on their website? What program did you use? I am in the middle of making my website, and I REALLY want to add a video of all my recent work and add music to it. Anyone know how to do this?”

Elisha: I use Weebly and it has a slideshow thing you can add on there. Be careful–you have get rights to use a song!!

Tracy: Search around for a flash gallery. I think that is one way to do it. You can buy templates from various sites.

Angelia: I have used Lightroom

Monika:  most windows computers has windows movie maker, this makes pretty good slideshows.

Blackburn Photography: zenfolio has it included with the premier plan but if your building your own I have NO idea lol if you know how to use premier I bet that would also help too

Les: animoto.com works great

Michael:  IMHO, be careful with flash. Seems like a lot of people don’t like flash shows with music, especially if you’re putting it on the home page.

Angela:  Proshow gold works well!
