horizontal list rather than vertical

hi back again... having had a wee play around ... and liking both ideas... am still struck on the idea of a scrolling style for the books... have fund a couple of author websites where I like what they have done and wonder if I can achieve that with some help please? Think what struck me was the notion of not having click for another page or going down the page and this same idea could be used for all the photos I have for this website....
Here's the first idea http://www.whoisamy.com/
The second one http://www.ianfleming.com/the-books/...s-are-forever/ (I am assuming this is a set of images, with a 'scroll' to next set of images) which you can select to see more info...
I did go to look at the template under Photo slideshows and Galleries widgets..to New Xara Slideshow...but that wants the email and password...which when I do shows another window for designing it but never ever loads?? I seem to recall this was a problem a few months back but looks as though it hasnt been resolved?

The Ian Fleming site could be done in Xara with a holding page containing two sub-sites for the stepped carousel that fires up the detail page of the selected book.

Both would be rendered on the holding page through Placeholders, effectively using the embed a website widget.
The main trick is getting the links in the carousel to fire up the appropriate detail page.

I've done something like this in the past but the minutiae escapes me at the moment.

After a pause, I just thought that you can combine both presentations into one.
I'll try and come back with a demonstrator.

It can be done using Pop-Up layers and reveal animations.

HERE's an EXAMPLE. Pure Xara. Not very pretty but it could be tidied up

In the end, I've gone with what Xara does best: Booker Prize.web.
