Q: Can I embed a ShowIt slideshow? How do I center it?

A: Yes, just paste the embed code generated by ShowIt Web into the CODE EDITOR section of your posting admin panel.

If you want the slideshow centered, after you’ve pasted in the code into the code editor, add this tag before: <p align=”center”> and this tag after:</p>.

NOTE: if you can’t see the controls of your ShowIt slideshow after embedding it, it’s probably a background color issue. For example, if you normally have your ShowIt slideshow web pages with a black background, ShowIt will make the controls WHITE so you can see them. However, if you paste the embed code into a blog with a white background, now you won’t be able to see the controls even though they are there. To fix this, just create an additional showit web page with the same background color as your blog, and use the embed code generated when making that page.

NOTE #2: Sometimes people get a problem when embedding ShowIt slideshows where the whole blog kind of breaks, and text below the show flows off into the background and everything looks weird. Click here for fix.
