Many MySpace users like to
create slideshows of their travels, pictures with friends, special events, special
talents, etc. You can add a
slideshow of select photos by revisiting the <Add/Edit Photos> link found
on the main menu. To get there
click the <Home> link on the upper toolbar.) Scroll down until you see
the link shown in the above graphic.

the Slideshow
Using the images already uploaded to your
website, MySpace creates two different types of slideshows. One (as pictured here) is your
traditional slide show with pictures running horizontally. The second is a more modern slideshow
with pictures entering from all angels, zooming in and out, and running
vertical and horizontal. Decide
which slideshow you prefer and copy the code in the box directly underneath the
slideshow. You can use your mouse
to highlight the text and hit <CTRL> and <C>.
Add the
Slideshow to Your Site
Once
you’ve copied the code, click the <Home> link in the top tool bar and
select <Edit Profile> from the main menu. Decide where you want to place this slide show (i.e.
About Me, Interests, Hobbies, etc.) and paste (<CTRL> and <V>) the code into the
appropriate section and then save your changes. For our example, we created gardening-related images and
placed the slideshow code in the Interests box. You can view your slideshow by
clicking the <View My Profile> link under your profile photo.
NOTE: You may notice that only one photo
from your slideshow appears, with a "Service Unavailable" notice. If this occurs, try again
later—but don’t fret. Never fret.
Graphics are one of the last quality things you can still
find online for free, but be sure that you have permission to use any pictures
uploaded to your site. You
can find a wide variety of pictures at “free stock photo” websites just do a
Google.com search using the terms free+stock+photo and select from one of
hundreds of sites. If you plan use
pictures from your personal library that have other people such as family
members or friends, make sure you have their permission, if their faces clearly
show in the photo. Many
people become upset, and rightfully so, when friends or family post their
pictures online without permission, so be sure to be respectful and ask
first.
