Slide show from Aug. 12-14 visit

Finally getting around to sharing some pix from my recent trip with you all. I am still new to this whole business of linking to photos and videos from message boards and I'd be embarrassed to describe the number and duration of false starts and dead ends that led up to this post. All the photo hosting sites I've seen so far are a major pain in the posterior, one way or another I was not favorably impressed with the performance of Photobucket on this forum so I was trying to find an alternative, but of course, that's where I wound up. Warning: don't upgrade to "pro" at Photobucket just because you want your videos to display bigger--that ain't part of the package... However, I linked my video to a blog, changed the values in the embed code and was able to get it to display a little bigger on that page. The bigger version is here (click the photo):



If that doesn't work for some reason, the teeny-weeny Photobucket version is here (click the photo):



Any image/video-hosting advice that anyone may have for my future projects will be most appreciated! Hope you enjoy my little travelogue. Excuse the tune, I couldn't resist. Madonna haters, turn off your speakers

good job!!

[fuzzyscorpio]

Thanks Frank. Hopefully it's a little better now that I've replaced it with a transition-free version. The fade effect built into the original file doesn't work well on these Web sites--the photos barely come into focus before they fade out. Live and learn

Great slide show! Madonna was very appropriate:)

[cutietnj]

Great slide show! When Holiday started playing I thought it was perfect ;D

SPECTACULAR!!!! The song was the perfect choice. Hope you had a good time. Thank you.

Wonderful!

I love your neon pictures. My cheapo camera can't take good pics of neon and I really love when I can see others photos of the signs.

(sorry, had to leave my speakers off hehe)

excellent, thanks!

[fuzzyscorpio]

Thanks everybody for the nice feedback.

Doowopper, I'm sorry I failed to return the favor of a soundtrack you could enjoy as much as I enjoyed your Louis Armstrong selection. I figured some of the guys would appreciate the Madonna advisory, but the gals would approve of the tune. So far, looks like I'm batting 1000 ;D I'll use more of a period piece next time. I almost did with this one, but decided I wanted something upbeat with it, rather than the slightly melancholy sound of the old doo-wop songs that I have on hand.

That was really great and nicely put together. Perfect music, also.

Thanks, Nance... the images are pretty much in the order that they were shot, basically a travelogue from Saturday evening through Monday morning, except that I tried to get a little thematic with the last three frames. Glad you enjoyed it.
