If you have a lot of pictures in a folder on a web site is it
possible using something antiquated like frontpage 2000 to run them
as a slide show?


Get a Mac and RapidWeaver. ;-))


You weave macs?


Well, making plastic sheet is harder.

Look at Dreamweaver - some scanners give it away with their softwa
there's sure to be someone (else) with it.

The best (most compact) program to use on the computer is Irfanview, but
I don't know how easy it would be to graft it into your website.

The easiest option is either to put the pics up with thumbnail versions
- f'rinstance, dahlia_001.jpg and dahlia_01.jpg and include the line

a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg" click for larger pic /a

and similar for the rest, then your viewer can choose which pics to look
at, and for how long.

Or, if you want to do the job properly, create a separate directory
called (for example), 'thumbs' and put the thumbnail pics in that, and
use lines like this:

a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="thumbs/dahlia_001.jpg" click for
larger pic /a

(Note that in the first method, because your thumbnail and the main pic
are in the same directory, they must have different names. your
thumbnails, if in a separate directory, can have the same name.)

You can make it a bit better-looking by putting in a header "Click for
larger pic" and then use the two lines:

a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg"/a And put any text
after the HTML tags.

br
a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="thumbs/dahlia_01.jpg"/a More text.


If you want the thumbnail on the right,

a href="dahlia_001.jpg" img src="dahlia_01.jpg" align="right"/a
Longer spaces can be put in by putting a space followed by  

The longer the space, the more it will look like this:    
        etc.
