About the Slideshare Module
Like doing powerpoint or slide shows?
Slideshare is a site that lets people upload the slideshows/powerpoint shows to show off to others. It's free to join and upload. I've actually used this site to upload one of mine for another lens I did. My first slideshow was featured by Slideshare 2 days after it was uploaded. That was a big surprise!! There are all kinds of topics to choose from and sure to be one out there for a lens you are doing. You don't have to have an account as you can display any commercially uploaded slideshow on Slicdeshare.

To set up the module, change the default title, add a subtitle and description. If you have your own account, you can enter your Slideshare user name to display your own, or search by keywords. You can add up to 5 Slideshares to a module.
**NOTE - When I created this lens, I was having trouble adding a slideshare to this module. I have used this successfully in one of my lenses. Not sure what the problem is now, but I do know that you need to disable pop up blockers to add. If you have a slideshare you want to add, give it a try. There may be a problem with one of the settings in my browsers. If you would like to view a sample of this module , you can view it on this lens - Fun Unique Shirts and Gifts. If you click on "More" on the table of contents and then click "Spread a smile around. Wear a funny t-shirt" it will take you directly to the slide share module. I am sorry I could not set it up hear for you, but will look into the problem and set it up as soon as possible.
