    Hi Mike
    Got the player working. Copied the embed code from Picassa Webs (select your album, select embed slideshow, copy the code) and pasted it directly into the ‘code’ window of the edublogs editor. Also pasting it here to see if it works in the comment!

    I got the slideshow working on my end (I use firefox) but anytime someone opens the page with an older version of internet explorer it doesn’t appear. Any ideas?

    Hi
    I hadn’t realised there was a problem with this, but on searching Google, I found a number of folks who have come across the same problem. I will keep an eye out and see if there’s a workaround. Thanks for bringing it to my attention
