It is important to note that when the slideshow is displayed, parts of the image may be cut off. Ensure your image is wider than it is tall, and that the important parts of your image are closer to the middle rather than at the edges.

How to add and manage slides:
From your Site Dashboard, click on the Slideshow link in the left-hand sidebar.
If you have already added slides to your slideshow, they will be shown on this page in the order that they are displayed in the slideshow widget.
When you hover over a slide, options to "Move Up" and "Move Down" appear. These change the order that slides are displayed in the slideshow widget.
From this page, you can also click Add New to add additional slides to your slideshow, or click Edit when hovering over a slide to edit it.
When adding or editing a slide, enter a title, subtitle, URL to link to, and upload an image to use as the slide photo. Once you are finished, click "Publish" (or "Update" if you are editing an existing slide) to save your changes.
How to add the Slideshow widget:
On your Sites dashboard, hover your mouse over Appearance, and then click on Options.
Under Options, click on the Homepage tab.
Check the box next to "Enable Slideshow on Homepage?"
Scroll all the way down, and hit Save Changes.
