“Companies waste fortunes seeking a magic bullet for Search Engine Optimization. But the keys to honest, effective web findability are appropriate writing and semantic markup. Aarron Walter’s wonderfully lucid and informative book tells everything you need to know to get your web content (or your client’s) in front of as many appreciative readers as possible.”

Smooth Slideshow, an Elegant JavaScript Slideshow

« The Captives
Interviews With Sage Designers »
16 Oct . 2006

Todd Dominey’s ever popular SlideShow Pro is a great Flash utility that many people use to display their photos on their sites, but Jonathan Schemoul has a nice JavaScript alternative called Smooth Slideshow. Smooth Slideshow uses the Mootools JavaScript library to create elegant cross fading, and passive or active navigation through photos. Mootools is similar to Scriptaculous, but is allegedly a bit slimmer to cut down on download times.

I doubt Smooth Slideshow is going to dethrone SlideShow Pro as the king of slide show mechanisms (especially with the recent introduction of SlideShow Pro Director), but it’s nice to have an alternative. Speaking of slide show alternatives, you might also want to check out Mono Slideshow, another flash slide show application with very similar features as SlideShow Pro.
