Here is a very interesting “tutorial” on how to incorporate slideshow’s to your website:
This is a small excerpt:
It’s funny how people get the same idea at the same time. Last week I had two different people ask me how they could use a slideshow instead of a still picture on their Web site. Many people find that one image doesn’t exemplify all of the qualities of the department’s site. That was true for me when I was building the Marketing and Communications site. There wasn’t one image that would symbolize our group so I used Flash to make a slideshow highlighting different facets and activities of the university. This slideshow appears on our main page in place of the usual photograph.
If you are already familiar with Flash you may want to use this option. If you’ve never used Flash, you will probably find it easier to use Javascript. There are many scripts available that only require minor edits.
