Why Embed a WordPress Slideshow in Your Blog Posts?
Adding image slideshows to your WordPress blog posts and pages is a great way to enhance the
visual appeal of your site, improve the "stickiness" of your blog, and provide your
users with content the typical blog simply doesn't have. Posting a stunning, captioned
photo or video slideshow on your blog can inspire more comments and generate further
interest.
What's the Difference Between a Slideshow Gallery and a Photo Album?
An image slideshow is more than a photo album. It is a highly stylized, interactive
media presentation offering multiple display options and a large degree of control
over the management and presentation of your image and video files. The Cincopa
slideshow plugin for WordPress allows you to create mixed media slideshows, which
means you can incorporate audio into your slideshows in addition to images and videos
(or all three!).
How to Embed the Cincopa WordPress Slideshow Plugin
The Cincopa slideshow plugin for WordPress is incredibly simple to install and use.
It is available for direct download and automatic install from the
wordpress.org plugins directory.
You can also download the .zip file and upload it to your "wp-content/plugins/" folder manually.
Once installed, activate the plugin from your WordPress administration panel and
you're good to go. The plugin settings panel allows you to create, edit, and browse
slideshow galleries with ease. Embedding slideshows into your posts and pages
is even easier. When editing or creating any blog post or page, simply click the
icon above the post text box
that will insert your slideshow with the shortcode [cincopa slideshowID#]. It's
that simple. You can also create an RSS feed of your slideshows, embed slideshow
in a sidebar widget, embed slideshow anywhere in your template, or generate the HTML code to copy, paste and publish your slideshow plugin absolutely anywhere on the web including email!
Cincopa is the most complete
multimedia platform.

How to Choose a Slideshow Style
Several options exist for WordPress slideshow such as:
All options include multiple skins, transitions, menus and more. The slideshow plugin is free,
and our totally free membership package includes more than enough space and bandwidth
to accommodate any personal or small business blog -- yes, totally free. Premium
upgrades and add-ons are available at reasonable rates . A 14-day free-trial package
is also available. Cincopa's WordPress slideshow plugin uses the powerful Cincopa
platform, a content distribution network (CDN) which makes the uploading, organizing,
hosting and delivery of all your media files fast and simple. You can upload your
files via our simple web interface, from our desktop agent, or even remotely from
your mobile device. What this means is that the only pressing decision you will
have to make when choosing Wordpress slideshow is: how visually stunning would you like
your slideshow to be?
Flash Slideshow
Flash slideshows are certainly eye-catching and can give any website a highly professional
look and feel. For this reason they are extremely popular around the web. Creating
flash slideshows with Cincopa's slideshow wizard is as simple as three-step process
can be. No programming or Flash skills are required. Just upload your files, choose
from options such as size, orientation, shuffle, loop, autoplay and more. Paste
the code you are given wherever you would like the slideshow to appear in your post
or page.
3D and Carousel Slideshow
The Cooliris browser plugin allows you to view your slideshows on infinite "3D wall"
without clicking page to page.
Cooliris is a fast and stunning way to browse photos and videos - tilt, rotate,
and browse carousel-style any media stream that you'll create.
See all of our slideshow demos below.
Lightbox
Lightbox is one of the most popular ways to display photos, videos, and other content
on the web. Customizable options such as color, size, transition, and overlay (pop
ups) allow your slideshows to practically jump off the page. Described as lightweight
and elegant, a slideshow which uses the Lightbox technology definitely stands out
above other, less dynamic slideshow galleries.
Content and Video Slideshow
With the Cincopa slideshow plugin for WordPress you have full control over the display
of your content and videos. Choose to offer your content for download, or protect
them. Autoplay videos in succession, or include an interactive menu. Autostart when
the page is loaded, annotate, it's up to you. Synchronize any desktop or mobile
device to your Cincopa account, upload your files to the "cloud" drive, and create
your slideshow.
Display any list of thumbnails with a navigation menu to showcase your photos and
videos. Control the size of your thumbnails and previews automatically. Scroll,
shuffle, zoom, view in any order, or view in full-screen.
Transitions and Scrolling
The variety of transitions and scrolling options available for your slideshow will
add flair and elegance to your presentations. Again, this is one of the reasons
why a dynamic, interactive slideshow gallery is more engaging than a mere photo
album. Some of the more popular transitions are dissolve, fade to, drop, spin,
zoom, push, cover, reveal, squeeze, pivot.
