Hello,

This is my 6th drupal site. I've been using the cms for about 10 months. During that time I've been getting better clients, and recently have had the opportunity to work with an Ethiopian Embassy.

Take a look and give me some feedback, the site will be translated into two other languages. There will be more content soon, it has to be approved by the government, but I want the site to have some search engine visibility, so I've put it online.

Check out the Embassy

Nice, clean layout.

Can you share what you are using for the photos? Is it a contributed module? It's not swf (when I right click it comes out as jpg)? Thanks.

Very pretty--don't forget to allow anonymous users access to the Contact form however:

Thank you, that slipped my mind, I've been trying to work on having different translations.

For the slideshow, I'm using the jquery plugin....cycle

<script type="text/javascript" src="/modules/jquery_plugin/jquery.cycle.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#s1').cycle({ fx:'fade', speed:4500,timeout:  1000});
});</script>

#s1 is the division that holds the images

<div id="s1" class="pics"> 
    <img src="/slideshow/smilinggirls.jpg" width="720" height="150" />. 
    <img src="/slideshow/diverse.jpg" width="720" height="150" /> 
    <img src="/slideshow/ancient.jpg" width="720" height="150" />
<img src="/slideshow/majestic.jpg" width="720" height="150" /></div>

No flash necessary

These links should be helpful
EXAMPLES -- http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/
DOWNLOAD -- http://drupal.org/project/jquery_plugin
SCREENCAST--- http://blip.tv/file/193619

If you want a module you can use http://drupal.org/project/slideshow_creator it implements the same plugin

* note supposedly you can just call jquery_plugin_add('cycle'), but that wasn't working for me so I just did a direct link to the js file

<script type="text/javascript" src="/modules/jquery_plugin/jquery.cycle.min.js"></script>

Also if you have a dropdown menu that goes on top of the slideshow, make sure to adjust the z index accordingly.

Hope this helps others.
