I have to say, I really thought I’d feel more relieved at this point. After all, everything is finished – my project is posted, and this is the last response that I’ll be posting in regards to it. So why don’t I feel better?
First off, It’s upsetting that I was unable to complete the photo slideshow using SoundSlides. I had all of my photos and my audio ready to go, but for whatever reason, SoundSlides just wouldn’t cooperate. I fiddled with it for hours on several occasions, but I couldn’t get the program to recognize my photos even though they were in .jpeg format. The website didn’t offer any assistance further than “Your image files must be RGB non-progressive jpeg files, and must have a ‘.jpg’ file extension,” and I couldn’t find any help on any of the online support websites.
On top of that, efolio is currently migrating to a newer version, which I could swear they are doing just to make my life a little more complicated. Apparently users are unable to change content effective December 16th and must go through a series of steps to migrate to version two – a series of steps that is far from easy, but of course. A sign-up code is required that is nowhere to be found, and when I tried to log-in to the help website, I received a message that my username and password were invalid despite having just used them minutes before to log in to my old account. I added the URL that links to my final project on my old efolio (somehow I was still able to edit my page content even though it’s past December 16th) and I sent an email to efolioworld requesting my sign-up code.
I’m completely and utterly fed up – and still not finished.
Hi Amanda, can you email me a couple of your pictures? I would like to try to figure out why Soundslides couldn’t import them.
