Easy Instructions for Creating a Slideshow for Blogger Posts
Blogger is a fabulous free blogging site, but it does have it limits. While you can easily add single images to a blogger post, there is no slideshow option available. Therefore, we must improvise by creating and adding our own slideshows to our Blogger articles.
Last week, I featured a slideshow in my How to Grill the Perfect Steaks article. While the images were not especially "pretty", the pictorial tutorial would be extremely helpful to a grilling beginner.
This week, I will show you how to create and add your slideshows to your own Blogger posts. If you follow these few simple instructions, you will find out for yourself just how easy it is to generate beautiful image slideshows to feature on a Blogger post.
