I have added an about us page with a photo. I do not want this photo to be included in the front page slideshow. I spoke to tech support and was told that I could either:

1. Upload more photos and it wouldn't be a recent. (slideshow is set to recent photos) I don't have any more photos for now. And, what is considered recent anyway? A day? An hour? 1 photo? 5 photos?...

2. I could add a keyword "slideshow" to EVERY photo I uploaded in the past and FOREVER.

3. I could create a gallery called slideshow and place every photo there.

Why can't there be an option when uploading a photo to include or not include (to include would be default) photos in slideshow? All these options just double the work to each photo uploaded?

There has GOT to be a simple way to do this?

Thanks,
Jeff

OK, for those of you who need to do this here is what I found out.

To remove a photo from the slideshow you have to "Hide" the photo. Then to place it back on the page you have to write HTML. So, first right click the photo and get the properties. It will be something like this:
http://www.yoururl.com/Other/gallery...e%203001-M.jpg

Then write your html like:
<html>
<h2>Page Title</h2>
<div style="float:right; margin-left:10px; border:thin #000 solid;"><img src="http://www.yoururl.com/Other/galleryname/i-JDFC/M/me%203001-M.jpg" alt="Photo Description" /></div>
<p>Write you text here.</p>
<p>Add some more text here</p>
<p>Thank you text here</p>
<br style="clear:both;" />
</html>

You must add the br clear both or it may/will not clear the horizontal line at the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps others.
