How to I add a slideshow to Blogger?
You will need to use Photobucket, Picasa or Flickr with Blogger to do this. We have used flickr.

- Click ‘Sign Up’ [at the bottom right]
- Choose a yahoo email address and click Check to make sure it is available
- Choose a password
- Click continue
- Enter your Yahoo password
- Choose a flickr screen name
- Upload photos
- Choose photos and then select the ones you want
- Add a description and tags
- Click ‘create a new set’ – this is so that the chosen slides appear at a slideshow in the blog
- Name set
- Create set
- Save
- Click ‘Share this’
- Click ‘Grab the link’
- Highlight and copy it
- Go to your blog and log in
- Click on layout
- Add a gadget and choose Slideshow
- Choose a title
- Source = flickr
- Option = user
- User = paste the copied link from Flickr – you only need the section from where the numbers start to where they end so delete the other bits
