Slideshow - Freedom (yes, there is a JK "appearance")
This is just a little experiment. I've been inspired by the videos GV and IB have been making, but I'm on dialup and can't download multi-media too easily. (Takes hours.) So, I thought I'd try my hand at a slideshow.

It does take a while to download, but less time than a video because the images are preloaded. The only trick is to refresh your browser until the music and the slideshow synchronise. The music should start when the flag image appears. Works best with IE (for me anyhow).

In any case, this is just rank amateur fun. Great song. There is a link crediting the music on the slideshow page where you can find a free download of this song and other mp3 protest songs.

2. Oh, that was amazing.
I of course, commenced to bawling when I saw the Katrina image with the woman trying to carry her dog out of the water.

3. Nice, DD
What program do you use for this? Is it easy to use?
It is a great song, too. I'll check out the link.

:applause:

7. Thanks. It was just a free javascript that I got on the Web. The entire
script can be copied by copying the code on the page. You can modify the duration of each slide and of the fade. Just add your own photos and it is good to go. I liked this slideshow script because it is easy and runs on load. There is a built-in pre-load for the images, so I think you can use it with Photobucket images. The only thing is you need a Web space where you can host the html. VERY easy to use.

For music, I just embeded the mp3 in the html. You can also take the code for this from the page source code. Just select "View Source" in your browser and copy the code.

The music at Protest Records is wonderful. I love the fact that these artists are making their work available for free and are helping to change the world one song at a time.

5. Nice work DD!
It took me several tries before it would work (all of my windows kept closing) but I kept trying and it was definitely worth the effort! Hopefully everyone will be able to view this one, I don't think everyone can download the ones GV and I do. You should post this in GD btw.

8. Well, I'm a little nervous about posting it "out there" because
not all of the images have been vetted and I can't even determine the original source since many came from blogs and other second-hand sources. I believe this constitutes "fair use" but I have no idea who to credit.

9. My images always come from all over the place too.
I really don't know what the laws are regarding their use, but I've probably broken a few. J School law class was a long, long time ago, a few years before Al Gore invented the internets so :shrug:. I plead ignorance even though I know that's not a proper excuse.
