Best Method to Create 2009 Year in Review

I have noticed several people have created year in review type slide shows.

I looked at my year end "best " and they are scattered throughout many galleries on my site (even on two Smugmug sites I use)

What is the best method to get my percieved best into a best gallery. Right now I took the uploaded by date range of all of 2009 and select my favorites. The only way I know how to do this is to "owner download" into a folder on my desktop, then reload into a best of 2009 gallery.

Is there any way to highlight and say put into "best" gallery?

    OK, I am a little slow on this. Can you give me a little more specific?

    Date range all of 2009
    Keyword each I like something like "best2009"

    Now what? I dont get that part. Can I create a best2009 gallery from this?

    Zanotti,

    go to each photo
    add keyword best20009
    when done,
    go to your homepage
    click homepage layout
    click slideshow
    now configure it, see in the settings - add your keyword best2009

    Year in Review
    Couple of things... I have spent the day working towards revamping my site... I am interested in add a blog from Pro Photo or Show it... I love how the pictures are so big and the whole site looks so nice... most people who have these blogs . .do not use smugmug processing... Is it possible to use a blog for showcasing and link smugmug to my galleries for purchasing? .. For example . .I like this site...

    I want to be able to do a Year in Review Slideshow and add to my blog...

    any ideas that could help strongly appreciated. For an example... I like something like this for my blog integrated with Smugmug . .

    I did mine on YouTube:

    It's a slide show, with video that I shot during the year in the background.
    It took forever to make it, but I'm proud of it and I think it represents 2009 in a fun way.

    I won't get a million views, but it's free advertising. mwink.gif
