PHOTO JOURNAL ~ A SLIDE SHOW

Want to do a photo journal like the one you see below?






You can...by following these simple steps:

STEP 1
First go to http://www.slide.com/. Sign up by clicking the button at the top right hand corner. Enter your email address and a password that you can remember.

After you sign up, there will may be a confirmation email sent to your email account. If there is, click the link they provide to confirm your account.


STEP 2
Upload all your photographs into a file in your computer where you can locate them later.


STEP 3
Sign into your account at http://www.slide.com/.


STEP 4
After you have signed in, at the "Upload Image" {see picture below red circle} and click BROWSE. Start uploading your photograph. After one is done, you can upload another or more.


STEP 5
When you have finished uploading, click "My Slide" that's located next to your user name {see picture below blue circle}. On this page, click the tab "Make A Slide Show" {green circle in 2nd picture} that's located just below your user name.




STEP 6
Once you are in the "Make a slide show" page. There are 3 things you see on the page.

1) Top: TV Screen {where you will see how your slide show turns out}
2) Middle: “Add Images From” and a orange screen {design area}
3) Bottom: All the pictures you selected will appear.

At "Add Images From..", click "Slide" {picture below yellow circle}. All the images you have uploaded will appear on the Orange Screen. Start selecting the pictures you want. After selecting, you will see that your photographs will start appearing at the bottom of the screen in rows.

STEP 7
After selecting your photographs for the slide show, all the photographs will appear below the slide show page {See picture below purple circle}. This is the file name of the photograph you just selected for the slide show.

Click on the black rectangle and you can change to any caption {title} you want. Do the same for the rest of the photographs.

If you don’t like the order of your photographs, you can click the whole box and drag to any position you want. If you want to remove the photograph, just click on the “X” on the box.



STEP 8
After changing the titles, scroll up and choose the collage or styles that you want {see picture below black circle}. You will see the different effects on the “TV”.




STEP 9
When you are happy with your slide show creation, click on the “Save” GREEN BUTTON below the Orange Screen. Then click “MY SLIDE” to go back to the main page.

STEP 10
At the main page, you will see the slide show that you have just created. Leave this browser screen alone first. Open another browser and log into your blog.

STEP 11
Go to your blog, create a post. Type your story. Then click the browser where you created your slide. Put your cursor on the embedded code {see picture below brown circle}. Right click and copy the code.


STEP 12
Go back to your blog. Choose “Edit Html” {see picture below blue circle} and then paste the code after the last line of your story. After pasting, go back to “compose”. Then click “Publish Post”. Log out and check your blog. The slide show will appear. All the Best!
