Slide Show
OK, I just posted my slideshow from Flickr and boy was it annoying. I don't think I like that program. Nothing seems obvious or user friendly. I was trying to get the slide show to show all my titles and descriptions because I want people to see them, they are there for a reason, duh...I ended up searching for what seemed like the entire forum and help topics to figure it out. very annoying. But anyway, I guess on the slide show that was in the last post, you have to click on the picture to show the titles and descriptions. It also stops the show, so you have to click the resume show button. again very annoying. Sorry Skip, I don't think I like Flickr.

I enjoyed your slide show, but then I am used to viewing this type of show and I tend to gloss over the limitations. You're correct about the titles--they only show up when you stop the show by selecting a single picture. Of course, you can use the thumbnails at the bottom to select the pictures you want to view with titles.
One of the objectives of asking you to create a slide show is to have you decide whether or not it will be a useful tool for you. It sounds like you expected Flickr Slidr to perform something like a digital video slide show. With digital video, you can control when and where titles appear, etc. Choosing the right tool for the job means that you have some facility and experience with a variety of tools. You choose the one(s) that work for you in the situation in which you use them.
I'm glad you learned how to implement a slide show. The results are good and you may find a situation in the future in which a simple slide show on a web page will be an appropriate tool.
yeah, I enjoyed making the slideshow, but I guess I was just expecting more from it. I created it with the idea in mind that you would be able to see the titles and descriptions that I worked so hard to come up with. But I'm not bitter or anything...
