I have started uploading my slideshows to my facebook account using the showit plug in. Although the shows play fine, the first (static) image looks as though it's being squashed in the frame, (if you click on the link below you'll see what I mean).
Anyone have any suggestions/remedies?

The photo you choose for the first one needs to be a 2x3 horizontal image. That should solve the problem.

Thanks Lynn, but the first photo is the first one in the slideshow which plays okay in the actual slideshow. On my blog page where the slideshow is displayed also it shows up perfectly, it's just in the facebook application, as far as I can see there must be some setting somewhere in the facebook/showit application.

Yes, you're correct. It'll play fine in the regular show -- it's only on the Facebook show (where it has the first image displaying) that it'll be distorted. There's a new feature on the SIW Facebook application that allows you to choose the static image. Just choose a horizontal image from the show (or use your logo or something) and it'll work just fine.

I just did this with Lynn's profile since one of the shows there was affected. Works great.

Thanks Adam, i'll give it a go.
