<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Wendy, I enjoyed your presentation using [|www.animoto.com]. It is such a creative way to present photos. I also like [|www.smilebox.com]. Last year, I had created a slideshow with Smilebox, but had difficulty burning it on to the CD. I will be making another attempt this year. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Thanks for sharing all your resources. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">~ Evelyn
