Web and Graphic Design HQ

I came across Slide this week, which lets you create, save and share a slideshow of your own images.

And it’s free.

Once I’d uploaded my images (you can even retrieve them from online services like Flickr), I picked the “Yearbook” style for image transitions, and hey presto! Nice flash-based slideshow to host anywhere.

The uploading interface was very simple and showed progress along the way. Once uploaded, you can re-arrange the order, add captions (or delete the default ones), and do lots of other customisation.

I then clicked save, skipped on signup (which means I can’t edit this slideshow later) for now (I’ll signup later) and then grabbed the code (I selected eBay as my option, so I could grab the manual html code to paste straight into my Wordpress blog, which I host myself).

Great for blogs, eBay auctions, MySpace and more.

Here’s my 3-pic mini-slideshow, with 3 cute pictures of very tiny baby Echidnas! (One of the Sydney 2000 Olympic mascots, Millie, was an echidna).
