I can't get any help from Adobe, Photoshop Experts, or the like. I have created a slideshow in Adobe Bridge. I was advised to upload the folder to my domain. I did that. (www.kelloggplayground.com). How the heck do I get the slideshow to appear? I am running wordpress, but want to use this gallery I created. I have one on there now linked through Picasa Web, but I really want to use the gallery I created. Why is this such a hassle?What am I doing wrong?:confused:

Has anyone ever tried to load a gallery from photoshop before? I really could use some help... very frustrated. (OK, yes, my hubby says patience is not one of my finer points.)

If you said you uploaded everything to your domain "the folder", can you give us the link to that so we can see if we can find any errors?
There really isn't much info to go on to help without actually seeing the issue.

Thanks shadmego. I finally got chat support to help me. The problem was that Bridge named the folder with spaces. For example, the folder said Kellogg Playground Field Of Dreams Walk. I was unable to get a hard url from that. Once I changed the folder to "WALK", the slideshow appeared. Now, I can go from there. Right now, it is at www.kelloggplayground.com/walk and I can load that url into my WP "PAGE" to create a link. I just couldn't figure out why I couldn't get a url or the slideshow to appear. WHEW!
Thanks, anyway shadmego. I had no other link to give since I had no url that would work.

The slideshow looks pretty good.
For future reference, and it's probably something support told you, spaces in URL paths do not work. You can do several things to combat the use of spaces:
1. You can use an underscore " _ " Example: Kellogg_Playground_Field_Of_Dreams_Walk
2. You can use a dash " - " Example: Kellogg-Playgound-Field-Of-Dreams-Walk
3. You can use encode the space to work with URLs " %20 " Example: Kellogg%20Playground$20Field%20Of%20Dreams%20Walk.
Of course, all three examples can be circumvented by using the solution proposed by the support person you spoke with and simply removing (renaming) the folder to something that contains no spaces. This solution does double duty in that is removes the spaces and also shortens the URL making it easier to remember and faster to type.
I'm glad you found your solution.
