Howdy,
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The plugin is done! Please visit here
My buddies at Made By Simple created a trial plug-in for WordPress. Here are the limitations:
- limited images
- limited sizes (small and large)
- MBS tag
The future version will have unlimited images and there will be more sizes to pick from to fit your blog. This is an awesome addition because you do not have to individually add 80+ images or something anymore. Just add one line and it magically makes you a slideshow – can’t complain about that!
By far, the coolest feature is FULL SCREEN! Imagine your brides or clients looking at their images as a screen saver. This is definitely wicked – agree? Just make sure to upload larger sized images like 1600px wide and etc. It is based off a 3:2 ratio so standard 35mm cameras.

The images are from a recent trip I took to San Francisco where I photographed Aaron Dieppa’s engagement session with his spunky and beautiful fiance Barbara “soon to be” Dieppa.
We were very fortunate to have Gene Higa and Ann Hamilton come along with us! Just from watching the two of them shoot, I learned so much!
Anyway, you can get your own slideshow plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/made-by-simple-slideshow
Make sure to import the zipped file through WordPress’ dashboard and follow the instructions from the link above. You can also rearrange pictures by hitting the “gallery” tab after uploading. The premium version is coming out shortly per our last conversation.
I will be heading to a wedding in San Jose tomorrow and then to Vancouver, so I will be gone for over a week. I know you all will miss me dearly (I hope haha), so please do not email me questions about how to use the plug-in. Read the instructions!
I will, however, make tweets so follow me on twitter – @tofurious as you know I will post pictures about my dining experiences hehe!
Also, please please please subscribe because my list is a little small and it makes me glum.
Have a good weekend,
Lawrence Chan
P.S. Please retweet to spread word –

Very cool. If they were to offer a customizable version with more size options and the ability to remove their branding (and maybe audio?), I would definitely pay an amount comparable to Autoviewer’s commercial license.
