0 HOW TO: View Post Images Slideshow

September 25, 2011

As I was viewing my Mermaid tutorial post I accidentally clicked on one of the images and was amazed to see this fun slideshow pop up!


It's funny because I noticed this on several other blogs this past weekend and was wondering what they used to get it... little did I know that it is part of Blogger's newest upgrades.  For tutorials it is pretty cool because you can click on an image and then scroll through the shots and follow the images... it's also great to get a better look at the images.
 
Is this feature not showing on your blog?  Go to your Dashboard and if you aren't already using the New Interface, click the "Try the updated Blogger interface" link at the top of your dashboard.  Once in the new interface, click SETTINGS, POSTS AND COMMENTS.  Locate "Showcase images in Lightbox" and make sure to select yes and then save.  That's it!
 
Just one note: This will only work if the image hasn't been hyperlinked (had a link attached to it).  So say you click my  Sugar and Spice button - that won't pull up a slideshow, it will bring you to my homepage because that's what I told it to do.

I like this feature, what do you think?
