Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

Help needed with home page slideshow
I apologize if this is already addressed somewhere but I could not find it. Is there a way to make the images larger in the slide show on my homepage? The only option for size given in the slideshow settings is to adjust the height, but all that does is increase the space between the photos and the text. I'd like the slides to appear 30-50% larger then they currently show.

I'd suggest implementing jFriend's HTML5 slideshow. This gives you far more control than the default slideshow:

I've seen that before but the last time I tried it, it totally messed everything up and I had to start over. I'm not overly skilled at customizing, everything I've got so far, someone has provided the code to me

As you try implementing it - if you have any issues - feel free to post them here. Either myself, or another community member, will be happy to help.

Ok, I input all the code but the homepage does not look any different. I know there is some code I need to remove to get it to work properly, but I don't know exactly what I need to remove. What I ultimately want it a larger image with no load delay (if that's possible) similar to what is in the example "Slideshow in a frame". Also I'd like to get rid of the Google ad on the homepage ONLY. I want to keep in in my gallery pages and all other pages as they are. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It looks like you don't have your bio box enabled which is where part of the slideshow code needs to go. You look to have the CSS and Javascript in place, so you just need to enable the bio box and add the code to it.

You should be able to add the slideshow code in addition to whatever text you have there.

Well I thought I had it, how do I hide the new slide show from my gallery page but leave it on my home page? At the same time I don't want my gallery showing on my homepage. It worked ok last night and now it doesn't?

Try this in your CSS.
Code:
.homepage #bioBox
.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox,
.homepage #featuredBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #slideshowBox,
.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
} 


.galleries #bioBox,
.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.galleries #featuredBox {
display: block;
}
