Becerra,
I realize you posted this a while ago and I noticed you got your slideshows working on your site. Looks great. I made my own html site too - though I really don't know what I'm doing and have work left on it (since I started updating it).
My question for you is...how'd you get the slideshow working on there? Embedded? Also, do you know how to embed video? On a blog?
Thanks and congrats on getting that all working. I am NOT a web guy and have pulled my hair out many time on my site.

Eddie...
HTML sucks doesn't it? I'm glad I'm going through the process to learn it though. Ok if you go to one of my slideshow pages and view the source code, scroll all the way down. and you'll see something like this,
<iframe src="thememories/index.html"" width="600" height="330" style="position:absolute; top: 170px; left: 170px; "frameborder="0" scrolling="no">iframe</iframe>
The code for using an iframe is really simple and pretty much just like an img source. An iframe is basically a way to open a hole in your webpage and plug in something from another page. That is why it is great to use with Showit web because you can have a nice clean look that becomes part of your websit.
When you type the code out, basically you are explaing how big you want the hole in your page to be and where to position it. The problem I am having right now is that I want to center my page, which I know how to do...but I need to center my iframe/showit slide show relative to the page, and that has been really frustrating.
Keep working on it man. I googled, experimented, and googled and experimented to get to this point...hopefully with this info you won't have to go through as much hair pulling as I did...
ps I'm no web expert either....just a rookie.
