Create a Slide Show for Your Blog

Rainer's, here is one more tool to make your blog pop. For those of you who have not heard of PhotoBucket.com, you need to go check them out. You create an account for free. Then you can upload photos or publisher documents for free. Anything you upload automaticaly is converted to HTML which you can use on Craig's list, your Blog or in e-mail. Another great feature is the slide show. Once your photos are uploaded, you can choose as many or as few as you want and create a slide show. Monkey around with the options. It's a lot of fun and gives your post a great look. You can also choose the size of the slideshow and even pop it in the margin on the right of your AR blog. I created this slide show with photos from a recent listing of mine as an example. Enjoy.

PS - Everything on my blog I have done for free. If you have any questions about any of the features on my blog feel free to ask.

I use virtuoo.com
