MySpace Slide Show - How to Add a Custom Slide Show to MySpace

Slide.com is one of the most popular slideshow tools to use on MySpace or any other profile or networking site. It offers a good number of ways to personalize your slideshow and makes it easy to share on MySpace.

2. Upload Pictures

Slide.com offers a few easy ways to help upload pictures for your slideshow. The most basic ay to add pictures to your slideshow is of course to use the file upload screen. Slide.com also offers an easy way to add photos to your slideshow from Bebo, MySpace, Photobucket, Flickr, Friendster, or straight from the web.

These are cool ways to add pictures to your slideshow because Slide.com lets you sign into these accounts without leaving the Slide.com website. It signs into your account, finds all the pictures and then lets you pick which ones you want to add.

3. Customizing

Once you have all your pictures chosen for your slideshow you can start customizing the way it looks. I think this is one of the reasons that Slide.cm has become such a popular tool for adding slideshows to your MySpace page.

The first part of the slideshow that you can customize is the style. Slide.com offers 9 choices to choose from. They have sliding, gallery, collage, checkers, swirls, and more. You can also customize the style of your slideshow by choosing how fast the slideshow runs and if you want your slideshow to shuffle up the images so they don't play in the same order every time.

After you customize the style of your slideshow you can then chose a theme. They have 9 themes to choose from to customize your slide show. There are hearts, bubbles, rain, and more. To even further customize your slideshow you can chose the colors your want for your theme. Say you want green hearts instead of pink, not a problem!

4. Size

One you get all your pictures added and your slideshow customized it is time to figure out what size to make your slideshow. Most people pos their slideshow in the About Me section of their MySpace page. This is a nice spot to post your slideshow so that the images can be fairly large without messing up the whole layout of your MySpace page. If you decide to post here I would go with the 426x320 size.

If you are going to post a slide show in one of the categories to the left in your MySpace profile like music or movies I would use the custom size option and make the slideshow no wider than 280 pixels.

5. Save

Once you are all finished customizing your slideshow you will want to click the save button. This will take you to a sign up screen. Just something you have to do. You can skip the sign up process, but you won't be able to come back and edit your slideshow.

6. Posting the Slideshow

The cool thing about Slide.com is that you can make it do all the work for adding your slideshow. Or if you want you can do it the old fashion copy and paste way. In this tutorial we are going to do it the easy way.
