I'm building my website right now and wanted to know if anyone has any quick/easy methods of developing a slideshow and a gallery. If possible, I would like a slideshow on my homepage that doesn't have navigation, just shows pictures, randomly, if possible. And I know a million ways to make galleries exists; I suppose I could incorporate a LR SS until I find a more formal method.

I don't want to use Flash - would like to make the site as SEO friendly as possible. I just started learning HTML/CSS/etc recently, but I like being able to do things on my own and am slowly, but surely getting this. Thanks.

Lightbox is a free JS gallery tool - http://www.huddletoget​her.com/projects/light​box2/ (external link)

Simpleviewer (http://www.airtightint​eractive.com/simplevie​wer/pro/ (external link) ) is a very popular free flash gallery application that can be integrated into existing sites.

XML Flash Slideshow, Flash Media Gallery and XML Flash Gallery Component v2.0 from http://www.flashniftie​s.com/ (external link) are quite nice and should be able to be integrated into an existing look & feel.

I'd suggest that any of these galleries would be nice, and will not affect your SEO one bit.

iPhoto is the best for making slideshows bud.

I like Jalbum (external link). I tend to use the Chameleon skin, which doesn't use Flash. A user can click an icon to make the pages advance themselves as a slideshow.

One doesn't need to sign up with Jalbum.net, and can simply use the software to produce all the resized images and HTML and put them on a web host of choice. You could even run the slideshow right off the hard drive without putting it on a web server somewhere.

Thanks, it sounds like that program has some promise.

It looks like that uses Flash, which I really would like to avoid. Thanks though.

Flickr has a cool slideshow that's free. Also links to and from your flickr so that can attract web site viewers to your other work
