Thing #10--Embedding Photos as a Slide Show

I could not get into either the rockyou.com or the slide.com from my school computer--even after overriding the block. Everything I clicked just told me there was a page error. On about the 5th time of opening the 10th Thing, the box to click under bubble space showed up--it was just a big blank space before then. The last time, you could see the video box but nothing showed on the screen after clicking play. It did count the invisible slides though. I wonder if I'm missing some key programming on my computer.

The Animoto link worked and the site was easy to use. I couldn't see a way to add text to or under the photos, so I pasted the "credits" from my word document to the box that was supposed to be added at the end of the video. Unfortunately, you can't really see them. Any suggestions on how (or where) to give proper credit ? For now, I just pasted the word document under the video, but it's kind of long and unattractive. Also, although the links worked on the word document, they did not come through properly when transferred. Again, suggestions are welcome.

I also did not find a "thumb tack" icon to embed the video, but there was a place to share and eventually I got to where I could send it to a blog. When the video was finished, I also noticed there was a Video Toolbox (in blue) and it brought up a screen which included an option to embed the video by cutting and pasting the automatically downloaded code. The first option did not work, the second did.

My slideshow is called "The Sistine Chapel--A Study in Awesome Beauty in Art. We went to Rome years ago, but it was closed when we got there. These just made me want to go back some day and see it in person.
