Slideshow
A slideshow is a content type that rotates through images and corresponding text. The slides rotate automatically, or you can use the controls at either side of the slideshow to manually rotate through them.
Slideshows are fancy. What are some ways to incorporate one on my site?

What dimensions should the images be?
Slideshow images should be 700 pixels wide; the height is open.
Tip: To ensure your slideshows look polished and professionally produced, it's important that all of the images are the exact same dimensions. Images of different dimensions will result in wonky slideshows. We've seen a few!
How many slides can I add?
The minimum number of slides is two, and while there is no maximum we recommend no more than 5-7.
Example of a slideshow; see the fully functional slideshow below. Slideshows come with background colors.
