Why use photo slideshows?

• When you add more than 4 photos to a post it can start to take up too much room on your blog.

• This can be prevented by creating a slideshow using another website and ‘embedding’ it to your post.

• Photo slideshows are also visually appealing and can have music and words added to it like a movie!
