Help with a slide show

Looks like I am going to have to give up, and that's something that I hate to do.

I have tired Picasa and Simpleviewer for Picasa Templates, nothing seems to work with XX5. I can view exactly what I want when it is exported to html page in Picasa, but then when I close the preview it won't come up again, and I can't import it into XX5. I have been working on this for 2 days and nothing. I suppose I can build a Photo gallery in XX5 and just have a lot of pages or layers. Something will come to mind, maybe. I said I was going to give up, NOT. I will keep trying until I get something that is suitable.
Saying all that to say this, Thanks to the ones that tried to help me with this project.

Hi Carl,

Something you haven't done yet is attached a xar or web file to the problem for the gurus of the forum. Maybe if you do that you would get an answer to the problem that would be pertinent to your situation.

I'm sure there is a simple solution to this but it would be easier if the gurus could see what you've done so far.

Thanks ED, but that seems to be the problem, if I could get it to go to xar. I would have the problem solved.
Nothing I seem to do will go to Xara. I get a error message that says, no html could be found in this file.
I have been busy with other things today, but will work on it again tonight.

Yes they work fine, you just have to search the forums a bit more to learn how to embed the html snippets into placeholders and where to maintain the file paths in the exported site.

Here's an example SIMPLEVIEWER gallery embedded into Xtreme5/Web Designer

And here's a PICASA html template (megazine) export which has been embedded into Xtreme 5/Web Designer

The .xar file is attached to demonstrate how I went about it.

Note: additional PICASA templates are available here
