Slide shows

Q: How do I make a slide show on my blog?
A: Here is a link: http://www.slide.com/arrange?bc=0&fx=0&tt=16&sk=0&cy=bb&th=0&sc=0
If you do not have the codes for your own slide show, you need to create a slide show first, get the codes, go to dashboard on blogger.
Click on:-
1. layout/design
2. add a gadget
3. scroll down to html/Javascript
4. add to blog (paste your codes here in the large box)
5. save changes (you can drag and reposition your new gadget)
6. save

Alternately you can also create a slide-show as a post:
1. Get the codes
2. go to your post editor
3. paste the codes inside the post editor (use edit html mode)
4. publish post.

My photo disappeared!

Q: It's not the first timeexperiencing missing sentences and images every time I post my blog or edit them. Why so?
A:Use the compose mode for editing your posts. This way you will not, inadvertently, remove some html codes in error.
I mean this sign > or this <. Don't remove any or add extra ones. You seem to like using these two symbols within your text. Here are the html codes of a photo and how it should be placed on a post:
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhFBi_cP8oUo_R37LIcxUy8Q5jDPuxFPRckUymef8NyffiJJaNdBFk5dvNJ9_dEvLmGwGzO8TCT6tpDBEt9_R6L5br-TTwwb0oM48_RbAJBOPzfDhTOYwm1ITrGCH1nymCfA1s7pyuRM/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAhFBi_cP8oUo_R37LIcxUy8Q5jDPuxFPRckUymef8NyffiJJaNdBFk5dvNJ9_dEvLmGwGzO8TCT6tpDBEt9_R6L5br-TTwwb0oM48_RbAJBOPzfDhTOYwm1ITrGCH1nymCfA1s7pyuRM/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

If you add or remove either one < or > symbol among that lot, it may make your photo disappear from your post!
