I just got back from the Master Gardener’s Show in Central Minnesota. I built the new web site for Gaia Garden Designs, a growing greenhouse business in St. Cloud. They asked me to set up a slideshow for their booth at the trade show as well.
PowerPoint 2010 makes it very easy to create slideshows from a whole folder full of pictures. It only took me an hour to create an auto-running slideshow of 524 photos.
Just wanted to post here, letting you know I’m still doing stuff and haven’t fallen off the edge of the earth.
